My eyes are very dry and uncomfortable (be careful with eye photos)

There are only my mom and me in my family, haha.

They both have so many painful spots;;;;

Mom is also a regular at the ophthalmology clinic, and I am also a regular there...

 

I recently wrote a review after visiting the ophthalmologist, but since last year, whenever I get a little tired or my eyes sting, blisters form inside my eyes like that, and I've been struggling with it...

In ophthalmology, swelling and puffiness of the white part (sclera) are symptoms of inflammation;;;

I was a bit upset because it had increased so much that I was told I could no longer fully recover.

 

Still, after applying eye drops, the blister has shrunk, but faint traces of the blister remain.

Well, that can't be helped, I guess;;;;

These days, my eyes are very dry and gritty.. When I use artificial tears, it feels refreshing for a moment, but strangely, eye mucus forms again...

Maybe it's because I look at my phone a lot, or perhaps it's because I used to read a lot in such dark places...

I haven't taken good care of my eyes... I think people only realize how precious something is after losing it.

Maybe it's just my mood, but I also feel like my eyes are getting smaller;;; Is it because my eyelids are drooping;;;

Anyway, opening my eyes feels very uncomfortable, and I've even developed a habit of blinking constantly.

 

 

 

But actually, the biggest problem isn't me, it's my mom...

Actually, my mom has been visiting the ophthalmology clinic for three years, but she doesn't have a car and keeps complaining about ongoing discomfort.

The hospital said to go ahead with the surgery since there are signs of inflammation and cataracts.

So, if I need cataract surgery, I think I should do it at a larger hospital. I also had tests at Seran Eye Clinic and Gangnam St. Mary's Hospital, but they said that although I have cataracts, it's not yet at the stage that requires surgery...

It's not glaucoma either;;;;;

 

But Mom also has symptoms of dry and gritty eyes, and she keeps saying her eyes hurt.

Watching television for a long time is also very uncomfortable, so they can't watch well;;;

Cataracts suddenly cause blurry vision from a certain day, and I haven't heard of any pain in the eyes, even if you ask around. But my mom says she keeps feeling pain in her eyes...

Even if I go to the neighborhood ophthalmology clinic or a big hospital, there are no special prescriptions, and I wonder why I've been consistently visiting an ophthalmologist for three years...

Apart from artificial tears, all the eye drops prescribed also seem to be just anti-inflammatory medications;;;

 

Is it okay to keep putting this inflammation medication into my eyes for three years like this? It's also hard to put it in 3 to 4 times a day at the right times.

If I don't put that in, it hurts and is very difficult, so I am worried, but since the ophthalmology hospital is prescribing it, I can't really say anything... I want to see some improvement, but it's been the same for three years, so it's frustrating.

 

It was only when I developed blisters on my eyes and my eyes became uncomfortable that I started to understand how difficult it must have been for my mom.

I also occasionally experience a sharp, stabbing pain in my eye, but it's not a constant pain.

I'm worried and frustrated about why my mom is experiencing such eye pain.

 

Has anyone experienced eye pain and visited the hospital for a long time? Is there anyone who can recommend a good ophthalmologist? My mom is very afraid, so she might refuse treatments like surgery... Anyway, I hope her pain can be alleviated even a little during her lifetime, but she has so many ailments that I feel really worried.
