HI all i am new here. I am 26 years old, female and i live in south africa. For about 3 years i have been having these weird eye sensation only in my left eye.. at first it started with getting crusty around the eyelid every morning then watery.. then swelling.. then pain. Such intense pain and swelling that i look like i got punched in the face. My right eye is fine. So i have been to 3 different eye ophthalmologists who all told me i have allergies, sinuses inflamed and they all gave me eyedrops, eye ointments and antibiotics even, fast forward to 2013 and my eye is still bad, 2 days ago i started getting this dimming vision where my eyes would go dim and then brighten like someone dimmed the lights and brightened it again. It is so scary because i get anxious and panic. Whenever it happens i go straight to bed and put the lights off.. I cannot even control myself when it happens, I possibly could have a heart attack. Also now and then my vision will go black for a second like a blinked but i didnt. SO scary and once or twice ill see a flash. The pain is around my left eye and eyebrow it is so intense that i cant even go get my eyebrows done at a salon because it will hurt. THERE ARE days where there is no pain but the weirdness is still there. I am so scared and im going to make another appointmnt to visit my eye doctor again although im freaked out about what he will find, what if i have some blinding eye disease?? what if ill be living in a world of darkness, i would rather die honeslty because i love writing and blogging, i love nature and colours,etc.. i cant imagine a life in darkness..how scary. I admit i spend alot of hours on the laptop and recently i just cut it down as the dimming vision made me scared as hell... please someone tell me what this could be, if i google my symptoms ill go crazy.
