I woke up and was startled to find my eyes hard to open and caked with gunk. Looking in the mirror, my eyes were bloodshot and stinging, so I knew this wasn't going to work. I immediately went to the ophthalmologist on Open Run. There were already a lot of people there in the morning, but thankfully, I was able to get treatment relatively quickly. The doctor carefully examined my condition and calmly explained the cause of my symptoms, which put my mind at ease. I took my prescribed medication diligently, diligently instilled eye drops on time, and gave my eyes as much rest as possible. While I felt some discomfort for the first two days, after about three days, the redness had subsided significantly and the gunk had almost completely disappeared. I was so relieved that I was able to return to my daily life without any problems. It reminded me once again that if you notice anything unusual about your eyes, the best course of action is to go to the hospital immediately.
