eye allergies
Remember how I said I got an eye infection in both eyes after cleaning my dad’s room?
The eye infection wasn’t really from my dad’s room. It kinda was in that I had bad eye irritation from his room and needed to use allergy eye drops and I started using a new kind that my mom got them from her insurance company’s quarterly freebies.
It turns out I’m allergic to Equate’s Eye Itch Relief drops.
I usually use Alaway drops from my eyes when I’m having a flare-up, but I like free stuff so Friday I started using the Equate drops.
Sunday morning my eyes were so bad I texted pics to my psych doc (she prescribes meds for me so I don’t have to go into the doc’s office during covid) and she was like OH NO and prescribed me something to help.
My eyes got better quickly, and then last night they were a little itchy, so I used the Equate again and WOW the redness and gooey-ness came on fast!
In under a minute I realized what was going on and rinsed my eyes out for 30 seconds before using Alaway. My eyes felt funny for a few hours, but I’m SO GLAD I found out it was an allergic reaction to the Equate stuff!
I threw it out and notified my docs that I have a new allergy to list in my chart.
