What To Do If Having Redness, Dry Eye After Opthalmologist Did A Slit Lamp Examination For A Long Time?
DUIRNG AN EYE EXAM, THE OPTHAMOLOGIST PUT A LENS DIRECTLY ON MY EYE, AND DID A SLIT LAMP EXAMINATION FOR OVER 5 MINS OF MY RIGHT EYE. IT WAS INCREDIBLY RED,AND DUBSEQUENTLY I HAVE DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WHENEVER I LOOK INTO BRIGHT LIGHT OR FLOURESCENT LIGHT DURING THE DAY OR NIGHT. MY RIGHT EYE IS ALSO VERY DRY ALL THE TIME. I DID NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF SURGERY.S THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO AFTER THREE MONTHS THAT WILL MAKE THIS GO AWAY? THANK YOU

putting alense what was done is not slit lamp examination. it can be gonioscopy, an invest i gation in connection with glaucoma. it is to examine anterior chamber. You have dry eye, redness, photo phobia, they may be inter connected. apply refresh tear eye drop. use a dark glass to avoid photo phobia.
