Maybe one of you can point me in the direction I need to go. If you're in for some light reading and general complaining.

Thread relevancy: I drove in to work today for the first time in 2 days. I missed my baby.

About two weeks ago I went to an opthamologist because for a month prior, my right eye (good eye) was watering up and not properly draining. They ran a test for blocked tear ducts, she said it was negative and gave me some drops thinking it was just irritation. I used the drops for a week. The day after I stopped the drops, I woke up and realized that I couldn't see as far as I used to. My eye is still watering up too. For the last few days, I've felt sinus pressure around the eye and today I can feel pressure all over my forehead. Today my vision seems worse than yesterday. I've been looking online for answers about this stupid drug. A doctor on a message board says that my symptoms worry him and that the drug should be out of my system by now and no longer affecting my vision. So, $190 later, I've got ruined vision and she wants me to come back on the 26th for another follow up.

I went to a regular physician twice before the optician. The first time they found a scratch on said eye and gave me an antibiotic to use for a week. Well watery eye was STILL there so she said it could be a blocked tear duct, so go home and do some hot compresses and massage it, I need to refer you to a specialist.
