I have been feeling bad about my right eye for quite some time now but recently it got worst. I'm beginning to feel sensitive towards glare on top of the blurriness I had all this while. I guessed it's early cataract.
Finally brought myself to the doctor, he said cataract is developing. The nurse gave me a few eye drops so that my iris open up to check thoroughly again. The feeling after the eye drops have always been blur, not only vision but lights. The lights are dispersed more severely than normal astigmatism. Everything seemed to be "open" up and my vision will be blurred and extremely sensitive towards glare. How I wished I could capture a picture of what my eye can see at this moment.
Doctor Yeoh have came out with a conclusion that my eyes are very dry due to the long hours of wearing contact lens so I need to stop wearing it for a while. I was also diagnosed with mild cataract. I was born with dislocated lens and is not treated (this is what usually happened), with my situation I will need to have surgery to remove the lens and replace it with a plastic lens. The exact same situation with my mom.
As I leave the centre, the nurse gave me another round of eye drop to reduce my pupil size but it will need sometime before it becomes normal again. With both my pupils fully widen, iris opened, my eyes are extremely sensitive to glare. Stepped out from my ophthalmologist specialist centre and it's a sunny day, I could see nothing but strong white glare. Tears flowing down uncontrollably. Realised I couldn't drive nor can I walk to my car by myself, I requested for help from by passers. A Chinese lady refused to even listen to me while a Malay gentlemen walked me to the opposite cafe and make sure I'm safe before he left. I was so speechless towards the Chinese lady but perhaps this is the normal reaction from human especially the Chinese unfortunately. A lesson learnt when you need help from a total stranger
