If you are a regular reader of my blog or follow my social media accounts, you might have wondered where I’ve been. The lack of updates might suggest that I fell off the face of the planet for a while there. Well, something kind of major happened to me back in June. I accidentally got chemical burns in BOTH of my eyes (as if anyone would do that on purpose \ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffb\u200d\u2640\ufe0f) and it has taken this long for me to recuperate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So what happened? It was a pretty random thing actually. After months of personal neglect during Shelter in Place, I forced myself to dress up nicely, put in contacts, and apply some makeup for a meeting I had on Zoom. That in itself was fine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, that evening my eyes became very irritated. I used some Bausch & Lomb Renu rewetting drops in case the irritation was from dryness. That didn’t seem to help and then I figured the itchy eyes was probably due to seasonal allergies. When my Zoom meeting was over, I took off my contacts and used some Naphcon-A allergy eyedrops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My eyes continued to bother me so I decided to remove my makeup in case I needed to rub my eyes. I used a Neutrogena makeup removal wipe to take off my makeup but somehow got the solution in both of my eyes… and it started to BURN!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
