...would be preferable to what's been going on with my eyes recently.
Last year I had (so the pharmacist said) conjunctivitis, ie really annoyingly feeling like you've got specks of dust in your eye. Fortunately it all went away after about ten days with the help of some drops.
About a month ago it came back with a vengeance, although this time fractionally less of the 'something in your eye' and a hell of a lot more 'my eyeballs are burning up'. Last year's drops didn't work, so I went to the doctor, who gave me stronger drops. These helped a little but not much. Indeed, I also developed a great throbbing (ooerr) behind and around my eyes, accompanied by pressure and itching. A further visit to the doctor on Wednesday resulted in him diagnosing an allergy (though not saying what), and prescribing me extra drops and anti-allergy tablets. In a week all's to be gone, he claimed. He also said I should cut down on computer use so as to not aggravate the symptoms ...
All very annoying. Has anyone been through similar symptoms? How did it pan out in the end? Are these symptoms characteristic of a particular allergy to something specific, or could it possibly be an allergy to just about anything? ...
