Day +1646 : Follow up at ophthalmology clinic

I am fine today.

I went to ophthalmology clinic for eye follow-up this morning. The appointment was supposed to be on 3 December 2010 but I was not feeling well at that time, so I have to postpone the appointment.

As I mentioned in my post Day +1597 : Follow up at ophthalmology clinic, the eye specialist was trying to improve my dry eye condition in two ways: blocking the duct that connect the eyes and the throat, and change the brand of the artificial tears from Tears Naturale Free to Vismed. Unfortunately, both didn’t work, so there is no point to plug the duct permanently and on the other hand, I have to settle with Tears Naturale Free. In fact, a few attempt to change to different brand of artificial tears all failed.

I am also glad that UH has approved my claim on the expenses of artificial tears. The claim is under my wife’s welfare as a government servant. She has to pass the approved claim form to the school to further process the claim. The school insisted that we have to submit a memo from doctor that certifies that I have eye problem and need the medication but unfortunately, unlike the haematologist, the doctor in the eye clinic was reluctant to write even a simple note on this. I approached the medical record unit of the hospital I the end and apply for a proper medical report which cost me RM80 :-( Hopefully, the medical report is acceptable.

My next eye appointment will be 8 months later.

See you next post :-)
