No he did a basic vision test and put numbing drops in my eyes and looked at my eyes through his machine and he looked at my eyes with the light. He couldn't dilate my eye's until this eye infection is gone.
Brief Answer:
Possible Narrow Angle Glaucoma with thick Cornea.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Madam.
I can certainly understand your concerns.
As per your description, you possibly seem to have undergone a Slit Lamp biomicroscopic eye examination.This can give info with regards to front of the eye and aqueous drainage of the eye.
Most probably you might have a large cornea and a narrow iridocorneal angle which can predispose you to Narrow angle Glaucoma.
For confirmation, I advise you to go for Gonioscopy and Fundoscopy once the eye infection settles.
Further management if any is largely based on the test results.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
