the need for a new pair of spectacles 10:28 PM

"FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- (SANTA ANA, CA), May 25, 2007 – In response to information received today from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) regarding eye infections from Acanthamoeba, a naturally occurring water-borne organism which can contribute to serious corneal infections, Advanced Medical Optics is immediately and voluntarily recalling its Complete® MoisturePlusTM contact lens solutions. CDC data was made available to AMO today showing that it had completed interviews with 46 patients who had developed Acanthamoeba keratitis (AK) since January 2005. A total of 39 of these patients were soft contact lens wearers, 21 of whom reported using Complete® MoisturePlusTM products. The CDC estimates a risk of at least seven times greater for those who used Complete® MoisturePLUSTM solution versus those who did not.
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Advanced Medical Optics Inc. (NYSE:EYE - news) said late on Friday that it was recalling its Complete MoisturePlus contact lens solutions and called on consumers to stop using them after data showed a higher risk of eye infections. "

Because i failed to hear and see the above piece of news, my left eye got infected. I have been a loyal user of Complete mositure plus, ever since i started wearing contact lenses. and mind you, complete moisture plus isnt cheap, compared to the other lenses solution brand, but because i thot it was good and recommended by my optican 4 yrs back, i have always stick to that brand. little did i know, the solution is as toxic as the Bausch & Lomb Inc which also conducted a world-wide recollection of its solution.
sighs, now i truly understand the danger of wearing contact lenses. when i went to see two opticans today because of my blurry vision and stingy pain in my left eye, both of them told me to throw away my bottle of complete moisture plus. of course i asked them what can i use now. One told me solo __ , the other say use optic plus. reason they gave was the same for the both of them ---> these solutions have yet to have any cases of danger.

my god. the first thot that came to my mind was "huh, so m i like such guinea pig?? so u tell me to use that solution coz up till now, there isnt any complain or signs of danger????" i mean, i thot it should be "this brand is safe to use bcoz of its numerous safety tests and guarantee......" shouldnt that be the case????

but even if they did tell me that, i'll think twice as well. coz my complete moisture plus has the stamp of the "US FDA approved" and yet......

it was a painful ordeal. tears just kept flowing and i have to keep one side of my eye closed. Now i know that watching and seeing from one eye is equally difficult, coz somehow, my right eye will feel like shutting too. and when i forced my left eye to open, apart from the stingy pain, i have to keep blinking my eyes coz the surronding lights are too strong for my eye.

and so, i decided to give the tonight's farm stay a miss and sorry to the others for not turning up at the 11th hour. i went back and waited in agony for my mom to come home before going with her to see an eye specialist at amk. the doc fee is not cheap. consultation alone cost $75! but the doc is on leave!!! sighs, and so we went back to the clinic near home and got myself 1 eye drop and another cream.

my left eye is still in pain now, although it's better than how i feel earlier on. now, im realie worried for my eye. just now at orchard when i first feel worried, i told cindy that im so afraid that i will get blind in one eye just like that. hee, thankfully ngiamy consoled me and said that she is more likely to get blind since her degree is much higher than mine. and thankfully, the optican at optic 88 shop at wisma is very helpful. when we first went in for his help in checking what is wrong with my left eye, there are a couple of customers and being alone, he cant tend to me. and so we waited but eventually, he gave me a thorough check-up and told me that most likely it's my solution. Pieces of black things are formed around my pupil, thus blurring my vision. and it's realie very blur. coz when i close my right eye and try to see things with my left eye, everything is in blur.

now, im banned from wearing lenses for at least 2 weeks. to be honest, i dun even mind wearing specs for the time being now. after this ordeal, i got to be extra careful with my lenses and try as far as possible to minimize wearing them. mom told me to get laser op for both eyes.

even though my eyes are small, i wouldnt want to trade them for anything! so dear god, please let my left eye cure soon! as for now, my top shopping list is to get a new pair of glasses! and today was supposed to be a good day. i met ngiamy, got a new suit from dorothy perkins and carrying that big bag of barang barang in preparation for tonight's farm stay, and yet im struck with this painful eye infection. =(

周杰伦-说好的幸福呢

你的绘画凌乱着在这个时刻
我像气氛纯白的白鸽甜蜜散落了
继续莫名的拉扯我还爱你了
但你断断续续唱着歌假作没事了
时间过了走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
一开始都不快乐
你用卡片纸写着
有些爱只给到这真的痛了

怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一意一心数着你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻我都还记得
你不懂了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒在旋转着要怎么停呢

你的绘画凌乱着在这个时刻
我像气氛纯白的白鸽甜蜜散落了
继续莫名的拉扯我还爱你了
但你断断续续唱着歌假作没事了
时间过了走了
爱情面临选择
你冷了倦了我哭了
一开始都不快乐
你用卡片纸写着
有些爱只给到这真的痛了

怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
开心与不开心一意一心数着你在不舍
那些爱过的感觉都太深刻我都还记得
你不懂了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒在旋转着要怎么停呢

怎么了你累了说好的幸福呢
我懂了不说了爱淡了梦远了
我都还记得
你不懂了说好的幸福呢
我错了泪干了放手了后悔了
只是回忆的音乐盒在旋转着要怎么停呢
