Everything was blurry as hell. I still could not see anything. I had a follow-up appointment in Dubai on the 25th of June (which will be 5 days post-op) in order to remove the bandage contact lens. By then the epithelial layer should have healed completely.
One of the meds I was using is called “dexametahasone”. It came in a small glass container with a separate dropper and a label clearly marked on the box [PRESERVATIVE FREE]. My mother accidentally spilled the bottle as she placed it on an uneven surface. The amount remaining in the bottle was not enough to last till the 25th. We tried calling all sorts of pharmacies and LASIK centers in Abu Dhabi but to no avail. Al Maghrabi got their meds from a pharmacy called Babel, which my dad went to and all they had was dexamethasone WITH preservatives. Al Noor hospital did not have a preservative free one, neither did the countless of pharmacies my family looked into. I was reluctant to use something with preservatives (since there were atleast 4 or more chemicals on the medicine list, and the last thing I want is permanent damage in my eyes) so I decided to wait till next morning to call Moorfields Eye Hospital Dubai to see if I could use such a medicine if it was not preservative free.
