What Causes Pain Around Iris And Lens Of Eyes?
Hello I m suffering with sevear pain around the iris and lens of my eye, it s like a stabbing/throbbing pain, the other day I had 2 hours of almost full blindness, I couldn t see past anything that was a metre or more away, I have been to the GP and he says it s conjuntivitis, because my eye is red and does have discharge coming from it, I have had it for a week now and have been treating it with drops, and other medication, (amoxasillin, pain killers and cold and flu) This hasn t helped and the pain is unbareable, What options do I have? Thankyou, Mr S Bellyou
