Two months ago, I realised the vision of my right eye was blurry. I assumed that the reason for the same might be the entrance of dust particles into the eye. Even after splashing my eye with water for a few days, the problem remained. I tried an eye drop, which I usually use for irritated eyes. But there was no improvement. In fact, the blurriness had increased a bit. I rubbed my eyes to see if there was some foreign particle. But the sense of some micro-thin layer on the pupil of my eye annoyed me day and night. In the dim light, the problem of blurred vision also continued.
My sister recommended that we get a diagnosis from an ophthalmologist.
However, visiting doctors had become traumatic for me due to a past experience. I insisted on waiting for a few more days. About fifteen days had passed. She was not ready to take any risk anymore. We visited an eye specialist nearby. He checked my eyes thoroughly. I panicked if it was a cataract. But luckily it wasn’t. He gave me some eyedrops and asked me to wait for a month. Should there be no progress, he recommended getting an MRI. I almost had a panic attack as I had not expected this complicated treatment for a small organ such as the eye.
I used to put the eyedrops.
And patiently waited for the problem to go away. But luck was not in my favour. Then she took me to another eye specialist. He, too, checked minutely but could not make out the exact reason. We were asked to wait for a while. I wondered why the diagnosis was taking so long. He consulted with a retina specialist, and the two came to a conclusion. They asked me to visit a neurologist who could accurately diagnose this problem. My sister fixed the appointment on the same day in the afternoon without wasting any time. We went there, and he examined me. He made me perform several actions to see if my coordination was proper. If my hands and legs coordinated with the brain for specific movements. His conclusion was that I would have to undergo an MRI, which would point to the actual problem. It might be a case of Optic Neuritis, he said. This word was entirely new for us.
Additionally,
He informed us that if the condition is optic neuritis, the only course of treatment available is a three-injection regimen given intravenously. Also, a CSF test (extracting fluid from a specific area of the spine) is to be done. His words sent chills down my spine. I have never ever experienced an intravenous injection. And the thought of a needle injected into my back made me shiver. But I knew this was it. I have to go through it. I remembered the words of famous actress Angelina Jolie. The interviewer asked her what her advice would be for anyone going through a bad phase in their life.
Her answer is just beautiful.
She replied, “Just go through it. Feel it. Don’t avoid it. Go through it. It’s how well you walk through the fire, and you walk through it.” I guess I did the same. With my sisters and mom by my side, the problem seemed like a grain to me. Even though it scared me, I decided to look into the eyes of this condition called ‘Optic Neuritis’.
Do read my poem dedicated to ‘eyes’.
