Eye Troubles

For about two to three weeks now I have had a small spot in the white of my eye that has been red and irritated. I figured it would be red for a few days and go away like it sometimes has in the past. You know a little broken blood vessel, etc. After it didn't clear up I got to looking at it and saw what can be described as what looked like an eyelash curled around the outside of my iris covered by some kind of film. I had even contemplated seeing if it was just an eyelash and playing doctor to remove it. I decided to go to the doctor and have it checked out. I think it was a better way to deal with it.

The funny part was the way the doctor describe that part of my eye. He said it was "lumpy bumpy." He's a good doctor, but he just describes thing in such a juvenile way that makes him sound goofy. I'm sure there has got to be someone who meets him in regular life and thinks, "this guy is really a doctor?" Anyway I am supposed to be putting eye drops in for the next five days and that will clear it up. I will try and let you all know if it does. I tried to take a picture to show you the "lumpy bumpy" eye, but all it really shows is the little bit of red that is still there.The yellow around my eyelid is a special kind of dye they put into my so that they could get a better look at what might be bothering my eye. The good news was that when they looked they didn't see a foreign body there. I know it kind of makes my eye look gross with the dye but I assure you that part if unaffected.
