On our trip though Tucumcari, NM we had a wicked wind storm come though and blow dirt, dust, sand etc. into my eyes.
When we made it to the motel I washed my face and put lotion on. In the morning my eyes were very irritated. I thought it may have been since I had lotion on my hands and it had gotten in my eyes, so I rinsed them with some cold water.
While at TCC they were very sensitive to light. Most of the flight from TCC to FLG I had them closed. When we went to breakfast in Flagstaff my vision became blurry. When Felix and I went back to the FBO I rinsed my eyes out with water again.
Flying back to OAK I had to close my eyes most the way since they were so light sensitive. Felix thinks I sleep too much. After I was dropped off at the airport to catch my flight home, it wasn't too bad since the airport was darker than what it was outside.
Im glad I ended up taking the red eye (no pun intended) back to RDU. When I arrived in Raleigh, my vision was even blurrier. I drove home and took a shower and rinsed my eyes out again then went to work around noon.
I called my eye doctor when I went into work and he said he could see me at about 5:15. Im so glad hes just a block away from my office. He put some dye in my eyes (which stung very bad) and he said my corneas were scratched.
He wrote me a precription for some eye drops and also told me to take some "Refresh Plus" to help when not taking the presrciption drops. Those feel really good straight from the fridge.
I am still photophobic and they mx guys at work had to take most the florescent bulbs out of my office and I have to wear shades at work. Kinda cool actually, because people can't see my eyes.
I was hoping to start back on the IR this week but hopefully next week if my eyes feel better.
AND YOU GUYS THOUGHT I WAS AFRAID OF TAKING PICTURES.
