I haven’t always been like this. I worked as a teacher most of my life. To put it lightly, it is a very stressful job, and you have to move a lot. When I was about 40, my eyesight began to worsen: at first, near and far objects looked blurry. Over the years, the situation worsened!
Doctors prescribed me eye drops. Now, I don't even remember which ones. They helped a little, but if I suddenly forgot to use them even once, everything was cloudy again.
At the same time, I kept working, although I felt like an old woman. And once they even drove me away from the school in an ambulance. During class, everything started to get so cloudy that I could barely see my hands when I spread my arms out. They injected me with something and put a bandage on my eyes. I stayed in hospital for a month. When the blindfold was removed, I could see again, but still it was rather blurry. Then, they discharged me and referred me to a doctor.
He added to the drops I had with new ones. If I remember rightly now, I took six different eye remedies every day. I spent a lot of time and money buying them. I went to the pharmacy like people go to the grocery store.
I had to use more and more medication as time went on. But in spite of all this medication, the problem did not disappear and, of course, it could not disappear. Upon reaching my 55th birthday, I was made to retire due to health reasons.
In fact, I was told my eyesight would never improve. They said it was impossible to change the situation. My problem progressed.
