Dry eyes & decreased vision / Warm eye mask & reduce phone usage

Go to the ophthalmology department

I undergo regular health check-ups.

Recently, my dry eyes have worsened significantly.

I was worried because my eyesight had worsened, so I went to the ophthalmologist.

I had various tests done.

The corrected vision suddenly dropped to 0.4 and 0.5.

So maybe that's why my eyes are uncomfortable and I can't see well. ㅠㅠ

 

The items examined at the ophthalmology department

Detailed fundus examination
Fundus photography
Refraction and accommodation test
Intraocular pressure measurement
Ocular microscope examination
Ocular Computed Tomography (OCT)

But... everything is normal.

Diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration are all okay.

They gave me a referral for sudden vision loss and metamorphopsia. ㅠ

 

So, I went to the university hospital's neurology and ophthalmology department.

I had several tests done, and my vision has improved.

It shows very early signs of cataracts.

I was told to make a new appointment specifically for cataracts.

I made an appointment with a different doctor at the same university hospital. ㅠㅠ

 

 

What I was cautious about before going to the university hospital

I reduced looking at my phone.

I give myself a massage every night with a heating pad.

I used the eye drops prescribed at the ophthalmology clinic I visited for the first time frequently.

It was about a month, but it's really amazing that my corrected vision has returned to 1.0.

I plan to reduce phone usage until the next appointment and continue with hot massage (15 minutes) regularly.
