Results from the eye specialist
🕑 Added 2018-08-21 11:12:16 +0000 UTC I'm back from the hospital and the eye specialist has had a look at my eyes. The diagnosis: a virus infection in my eyes that works to spread and refract light inside my eyes which leads to unfocused vision and light sensitivity. It's in both eyes, but the right one is more severely impacted.Good news: it's not exactly dangerous and the body will fight it off by itself and my vision should revert to normal once the virus is gone.
Bad news: the recovery period for this can be about two months. There is no way to treat it in order to speed up the recovery or to reduce the pain or light sensitivity.
The doctor said that the first two weeks or so are usually the worst and that's when most of the pain will make things difficult for me. I can't make things worse by looking at computer screens and working, so as soon as the pain starts going away, I can go back to work again, even though things might be slow due to my impaired vision.
So there it is. In some ways it's comforting news. At least I'm not going blind. But the slow recovery and the fact that my vision will be impaired for some time is annoying.
Thank you all for the nice comments on the previous post. I appreciate you all a lot.

Glad it was something manageable. I agree with John to take a vacation. Relax to recharge and enjoy.

Go and take a two week vacation then. Rest your eyes and heal.
