I wasn't expecting to be away for so long but the eye infection I had got worse before it got better. I had to reduce by screen time to a minimum.
I had conjunctivitis which caused me to have blurred vision. I couldn't even read the top letter on the optician's wallchart. Turned out I had a Cornea Ulcer.
I've been on eye drops, antibiotic pills and eye ointment. At the start of treatment I had to put the eye drops in hourly for 48 hours straight.
I can see now but the optometrist / opthamologist said yesterday that I am not totally clear of it. So I still have another 8 weeks of treatments to do. Thankfully only twice a day.

Time to restart the quizzes.
