I made an appointment to get an eye exam. The earliest opening they had was 2 weeks from now. They could've scheduled me in earlier to check for an infection, but that wouldn't have included a vision exam. As my main concern is the increased blurriness in my right eye, it seemed to make sense to wait to get the regular exam. Until then, I have to stop myself from being a hypochondriac and worrying about going blind.
I do believe I have had some kind of infection (or a small stye/chalazion) in the right eye, but there's been no pain and very little redness, just discharge. Maybe in 2 weeks that will be cleared up, and my vision will be better anyway. Hopefully.
I've discovered that if I take the left lens of the pair of glasses that I got 9 years ago, and turn it nearly vertical while holding it in front of my right eye, that clears up my vision. That makes me feel better. I don't want to have to wear glasses, though. I only ever wore these glasses occasionally at work, when my left eye was feeling strained.
It's odd, though. The lens doesn't get rid of the streaks in either my left eye nor my right eye, when looking at a spot of light. I would have thought that if the lens was correcting astigmatism, that it would get rid of the streaks. Do people without astigmatism see streaks when looking at spots of bright light?
