Hi everyone. My name is Tiera and Im writing another post for some words of advice. My story starts with me being diagnosed with Bipolar back in 2010. Since then I havent really held down a job well really I had the same job but I wasnt able to work so I was put out on job disability. Im on 25 this happened when I was 23. Well around August of this year I started getting the symptons of dry eyes. It first started from just tearing the extreme light sensitivity then vision changes. Now I have floaters in my eyes and even had some eye flashes. Ive been to about 7 eye doctors in the past 5 months. Checking for retina tears and signs of detachment which all cleared out thank God. Ive tried restasis, castor oil, plugs, over the counter drops etc. I have some improvement. I can cry again and I can watch tv without constant tears streaming down my face. I still have strong light sensitivity, floaters, and cant look at a computer screen more than 5 minutes without my eyes being bothered. This has really CHANGEDmy life. I feel like a prisioner in my own home. I cant go out during the day because the Sun kills my eyes and I cant go out even during the mid day like when the sun goes down and the sky is grey thats the worst. Its like my eyes feel as if there not open all the way. Weird. I was suppose to restart college but my eyes are so dry I couldnt sit in a class and concentrate due to the discomfort. I feel so bad seeing others my age living their life and Im home all day sleep or watching tv. I wear glasses so im not sure should I get tinted glasses or what for my photophobia. Im soooo depressed because Im scared this is going to be my life for the rest of my days
I really wanna finish school and get a real job again but Im not even sure thats possible. I was thinking of seeing do I qualify for prose lens but my insurance which is medicaid may not cover it. Any went through and over came these obstacles or going through this now or just wanna talk please respond. Thanks
