rubbing the eye with dirty hands is bad.. (a true story)

I went to American Eye Center this morning. The eye check-up was originally planned last March but things always came up whenever I went there. But yesterday, my right eye was really hurting. It wasn't sore or anything but it did hurt.

It turns out that I have a little eye infection. That's what you get when you rub your eyes with dirty hands. So, I'll avoid doing that from now on. However, you can also get it from dust and other pollutants. This is Metor Manila, so I guess I can't do anything about that. (On second thought, I can wear sunglasses. Hmmm...)

Anyway, nothing serious (I hope so). I just have to put some eyedrops 4 times a day for 1 week. And if symptoms persist, consult the Doctor again.



This eyedrop cost me Php279.50. And guess what? It's just 5ml! So, I'll have to be very careful when dropping them. Its a good thing, I can reimburse this. (Lord Thomson is generous when it comes to medical/optical stuff). By the way, I didn't pay anything for the check-up because it's also covered by our Health Care provider. (Thomson should pay me for advertising the company. haha)

I also got a raffle ticket from Mercury Drug. If luck gets on my side, I'll drive home a new Mitsubushi Adventure GL.


----------
New Learning: The eyes are connected to the throat. I could taste the eyedrop shortly after I've put them in my eyes. (doesn't taste good..)


Out of curiousity, I checked out my Doctor's profile. His name is Carl James Chua. Impressive. Seems like I'm in good hands. :)
