2001, September I was nearly went blind.
I refused to wear specs during school time. I like chatting in ICQ, mIRC and surfing almost everyday, by the way I also studied very hard for my SPM. In this case, my eyes were not 100% rest well and always feel dry and itchy due to my contact lens/tiredness. I used to rub my eyes, keep rubbing and rubbing until got infection. (dai sei..)
Suddenly, I felt there was something blocking my right upper eyesight..it was a shadow blocking my sight..it was not scary but my exams was around the corner..(salute myself for being so calm while parents were so worried) Then, I was brought to see the one and only eye specialist in town who visit Sandakan once a month! God blessed me, she was at the clinic. She said "girl, you got to admit to the hospital immediately or else you might go blind.." It wasn't sound scary to me tho, I just packed my bag and flew to KL and admitted to Tun Hussein Onn Hospital on the same day. But what happened to my eye?? doctor explained that I got a retina detachment, in other word there was a tear in my retina and caused a shadow blocking my eyesight. A surgery was arranged and I was informed the surgery recovery chance was 70%, which means i still have 30% chances of getting blind!

The surgery took about half day and I was put into sleep during the surgery. Thanks god, they managed to repair my eye and it was scary to look at my own reddish eye. Then, everyone in my family took turn to take care of me, putting eye drop for me and using Diamond water to clean my eyes to avoid any infection happen to my eyes again..
After these years, I am so glad that my pair of eyes are in good condition and I need eye drop to moisten my dry eyes! Treasure your eyes, love your eyes!
