I know this is a bit odd and off-topic, but I'm getting desperate... I've been having a problem in my right eye for years now... I've been to 4 or 5 eye doctors, who all gave me drops and said that it was in infection... I think it started at a job-site, I was in a moldy basement and I left there irritated as hell...
Anyway, it comes and goes and usually it comes back in the late spring or early summer... This year was the worst ever, being that it seems to be seasonal, I thought it was allergies, but the doc said that if it was allergies, it would be both eyes, not just one...
It was so bad that I went back to an eye doctor, who told me to put heat on it with a warm towel for a few minutes every morning, then at night and wash it out with baby shampoo, he also gave me drops... He did the same thing on the follow up visit... Oh I saw him last year and he did the same thing... This year it got really bad after I did what he said, I got what looks like a hole in my eye and my vision is blurry, plus I got a lump on my eye lid...
So I went to a specialist, who told me the same thing, but he prescribed a different ointment, that's only an anti-biotic, plus oral anti-biotics... Well, it's been over a month and that didn't work either!!! I still have the lump and my eye sight is worse than ever, he said that I had an ulcer and it left a scar in my eye... He also said that the lump could be caused by dandruff, but I didn't think I had dandruff, but I added nizoral anyway, just for good measure...
So now I resorted to taking a well known Mexican anti-biotic oral and ointment that I got otc from a Mexican grocery store, everyone swears by it... but I see little improvement... have any of you had anything like this? can it be gear related? I read that it might possibly be VD like syphilis or something like that, the good thing is that the anti-biotic form Mexico (Teramicina) is used to treat Syphilis if that's in fact what I have... I work with my eyes and this really sucks, I almost feel like having it removed and replaced with a glass eye... Any input would be appreciated...
