I just want to tell you all when you buy OVER THE COUNTER medicines -
READ THE LABELS.
After my husband died I did a major amount of crying and forced myself to get out and buy some OVER THE COUNTER Bausch & Lomb eyedrops because all the crying was really hurting my eyes - It was either Walmart or Kroger.....you'd think they'd be harmless right ?
For the last 5 months my eyes have been
very dialated and I went to the eye doctor thinking it was medication I was on ...a reaction to my husbands death or there was something seriously wrong with me to have such dialated eyes - I spent $$ I
didn't have seeing doctors about this.
I spent hours on the net trying to find out why -
It's been awful - I couldn't go into sunlight without glasses - couldn't read anything up close etc - and couldn't work on my card or label orders & had to interview for jobs with these huge pupils that made me look like I was on drugs
WELL - the box with those same eyedrops has been in my moms car for the last 2 weeks for safekeeping (during my move) & I picked it up yesterday. My eyes had just gone back to normal recently-
I got something in my eye (dust whatever) and used the drops yesterday for the 1st time since I moved in ONE eye and BAM - my pupil is HUGE -
I looked very carefully at the package and it's an RX Prescription ! This was sold right the store ! I've never in my life had prescription eye drops and for sure nothing to dialate my eyes -
For months I was using these drops
everyday and now I know why my eyes were so messed up. I never thought to look at the label and not one doctor asked me if I was using any eyedrops -
Now I have one normal eye and ONE Stepford Eye - I really hope this goes away fast - it's a really bad feeling.
This can happen anywhere so read those labels - Back when I bought them I just grabbed whatever was on the shelf and didn't pay any attention but I sure learned my lesson. READ READ READ !!!
