My Eye Experience
For those of you who do not know, I have allergies. Sometimes severe, sometimes minor, but ever present. But despite my years of experience with them I learned something new the other day. You can get cysts on your eye if your allergies get bad enough. Last Saturday morning I woke up with what felt like an eyelash in my eye. After trying the pull-your-upper-lid-over-your-lower-lid trick it didn't go away, so I looked in a mirror to see what I could see. I had a small bump on my cornea. Weird , I thought That's new. I didn't give it too much thought throughout the day, but the scratchy something-in-my-eye feeling worsened. Saturday night I looked at it again. The bump was still there, but now there were three little blisters on it. I calmly walked to the computer and searched my symptoms. After a little reading I hoped that what I had was a simple scratch. The other options were having something lodged in my eye or Syphilis. How would I explain Syphilis to my mother? "...
