Eye Problem

Whoops. I didn't realize it had been over a week. Time passes really strangely when you're in law school. 

I don't have pseudomyopia, or I might, but it's not what my main problem is. Something, the doctor thinks either my contacts or my contact solution, has "offended" my corneas. In response, my immune system is over-reacting a bit, and I have white blood cells on my corneas.  So, Problem 1: I'm seeing the world through the haze of white blood cells, which makes thing s blurry. The second problem is that the pressure from the blood cells has changed the shape of my corneas, which means that my prescription has changed. Instead of needing contacts that are +7.00, I'm wearing contacts that are +5.00 in both eyes. So Problem 2: my lenses were over-corrected. Sadly, the over-correction is temporary. As my eyes heal and the white blood cells go away, my corneas will return to their normal shapes, and my vision will become poor again (not like it isn't now...) The doctor estimates that it will take about 6 months for my eyes to return to normal.  I think they're improved (worsened?) in the past two weeks already. I'm wearing a different type of contact and using a different type of contact solution. My vision was wonderfully clear the night and first day after my visit. Since then, it's gotten progressively worse each day. Right now, I can barely see my notes or the board or the giant projector screens. Even worse, I don't think I should be driving. Luckily, my appointment is tommorow, so I can find out if my eyes are in fact healing , and I can get a new prescription so I can see for a bit.
