Sending positive vibes.

Does he wear contact lenses, or does he have dry eyes? I've had a corneal abrasion from contact lenses and it was extremely painful; also dry eyes can cause a lot of pain, or could be a flare-up from the old injury. Obviously he needs to see an ophthalmologist asap, hope he's OK soon!

Ty!

tears some time back? Manufactured in India if I remember correctly.

- Hope you have emergency eye care services nearby. Please, let us know how it goes.

Maybe muscles irritated from REM?

Although, dr. said muscles tested perfect. Slight astigmatism, so I got him glasses with Transition lenses.

I will call eye dr. again today.

(after appropriately numbing the eye with proparacaine)... It sounds like he has dry eye syndrome, so that does put him at special risk of surface corneal injury. Those who have ever worn HARD contact lenses have undoubtedly experienced that intense pain, and even though he doesn't, these surface injuries can occur for a lot of other reasons, including foreign bodies, styes, etc.

So, while it could certainly be something else, I would think that they would want to rule this out. Even ER docs would/should do the evaluation above for acute pain, no matter how much they want to refer to ophthalmologists.

Good luck!

Best of all outcomes to you both.

It’s scary to wake up in outrageous pain! Hope he can be seen ASAP!

Mystery pain is very scary. Sending healing vibes...

So, maybe a different doctor?

Could be something other than the eye itself..?

Healing and peace

God knows you deserve better.

Poor guy.

Sending all the good vibes your way. Please keep us posted?

I posted update in separate thread.

Please have them checked!
Some are dodgy and they are easily contaminated.

Otherwise, nothing but sympathetic feelings going out.

But this has bn ongoing before that.

They both contain only mineral oil and petrolatum to different percentages.

Check contents, anyway.

No chemicals otherwise. I use them every night to keep eyes moist.

And of course, all drops need to be kept sterile, even if that's not actually doable by humans.

HTH, even in a small way.
