The Beautiful Nightmare
Back in November last year,as I wokeup to the blistening sun shining through my window, I blinked my eyes to clear the my blurry sight. With the excruciating pain that poked my eyes, I walked to the mirror and was surprised to look at my red eyes. That was not the worst part, as I focused more into my eyes on the mirror, I realised that at the center of my eyeballs, there was a white bulge, round and small. Not even an hour later,my mother and I were already sitting on a comfortable blue sofa ,waiting for my turn to be called at the eye specialist clinic.
After a few complicated examinations ,my mother and I had to face a bad news. I had a corneal ulcer on my left eye and it’s quite critical. Even the cold air conditioned room felt so warm when the optician futher explained my condition to my mother and I. At that moment, all I could think of was, What am I to do? SPM is just a week away and my eyes were bandaged and unwrapped only to put the eyedrop every 15 mins. After a whole week full of inconvenience to study and excruciating pain to the extent that I could barely even get my eyes open by a millimetre, the optician decides to unwrap my right eye so that I will be able to do my examinations.
I did my best in the examination,with all the knowledge I’ve instilled before that nightmare. Months passed by and I still have sore eyes every once in a while and sometimes I could barely open my eyes and at times I feel that my surrounding seemed too bright for me to even look at, when they’re actually not. There were days I wouldn’t even bother looking at my unattractive face in the mirror, scared that I might be frightened by my own eyes.
Never the less, I could not express my feelings in words when I went to my school, SMK Assunta to get my SPM results. Though it may not be the best nor did it reach my expectations, but when I reflect back on the incident and my conditionin which I was doing my examinations, I was more than happy with my

    As optometrists, we always seek ways to improve primary eye care provisions to our patients. Primary eye care encompass from refractive services to the diagnosis and management of ocular pathologies. With the steadily evolving field of technology, eye care services are more fine tuned and this enable optometrists and other eye care practitioners to provide even better eye health services to patients. Though not many independent optometrists have the luxury of having some of the costly technology in the practices, I personally feel that they should be allowed to have easy access to them in order to provide the best patient management in their practice.…

    The most challenging thing that I have ever done was not an event nor an incident. In fact, it is something that I have had to live with throughout my life. When I had been born, I had a congenital cataract in my left eye; a congenital cataract is a form of cataract which is formed in the womb or moments after birth. Once I turned two-years old, my ophthalmologist informed my parents that I was required to have eye surgery. However, it had only been a phacoemulsification —a surgery where ophthalmologists easily dissolve the cloudy lens with an ultrasonic device — and so I was left with a left eye which convincingly hid my monovision. Shortly after this procedure, my right eye’s visibility gradually decreased. Consequently, my doctor prescribed…

    I didn’t wake up and say “I think I’m going to pull out my eyelashes today.” I am not exactly sure about what had caused this but most likely it’s due to stress from my parents divorce. Not understanding the cause is one factor that has led to my interest in the medical field. One day I was standing in the bathroom in front of the mirror staring at my reflection. Then the sink was filled with eyelashes I had removed. Immediately, I felt a release of all this tension that had built up within me. It was stress relieving. Once I stopped pulling I was left with a huge gap on my top eyelid, I knew my parents would be upset. I felt like a failure, lonely and as if I would be judged.…

    An apartment is a self contained housing unit that occupies only part of a building. Apartments may be owned (by an owner/occupier) or rented (by tenants). My first apartment was located in Brooklyn in the Flatbush section. It was a small but very conveniently located third floor apartment in a elevator building. The building only had five floors with a see through glass lobby entrance. The building had a doorman that worked from four until midnight. He was a very pleasant middle aged gentleman with a carribean accent. The lobby had a sunken waiting area with black leather sofa and arm chairs that looked like they were bought in the 1960`s, but well maintained. When you came into the building in the evening you could smell the strong scents of all types of seasoning especially curry due to the Indian family living near the elevator. When riding the elevator up to my apartment it would shake from side to side and occasionally would hold someone captive until the elevator repairman came to get them out. My apartment was located on the third floor. It had a small foyer with a small closet to the left, a living room that measured 11 feet by 17 feet . It also had a very small kitchen that only one person could cook in at a time otherwise you would be constantly bumping into the other cook. Next to the small kitchen was a half size bathroom whose vanity mirror would steam up due to not having any windows or a proper working ventilation duct. When you came out the bathroom to your right was a small bedroom that you could only get a minimal amount of furniture in. Basically this apartment was in the shape of a box that was sectioned off into four areas. To make it into a home I started with the living room, I painted the walls chocolate brown and bought a sofa to match. The sofa was made of a furry material so I bought an orange chaise lounge to go with the sofa. I also bought earth tone curtains to mellow out the loud look of the orange chaise. I placed the orange chaise…
