Dust

Despite all of my efforts, I woke up yesterday morning thinking I had lost vision in my left eye. All day long I used copius eyedrops and I was seeing double at work. So by the end of the night I made one last ditch effort by putting this cream in my eye that a doc precribed in December. If that didn't work I would go to the opthalmologist in the morning. Well, I woke up this morning with my vision restored. At the edge of my eyelashes I found, not normal sleep sand, but tiny dust particles that covered my eye all day. That fine layer of dust is called 'silt' I believe, but I thought that only occurred in arid, desert climates.

The weather the past couple of days has been cold by Mumbai standards, beautiful by my standards. It's been very breezy, so lots of dust in the air. I assumed this would not affect my eyes as I wear these huge sunglasses any time I am outside and I use eyedrops like they are an addiction.

Why all this fuss about my eyes? i had eye surgery some months ago and they are still healing. without contacts my eyes feel very vulnerable. at least with contacts if my eyes were irrtated I could just take out my contacts and problem solved.
