I never did have conjunctivitis. The redness had cleared, but it still felt like there was something in my eye. Well, that is because there was something in there. Called the Doc and he referred me to an opthamologist. While examining me with that high powered slit light she actually said “Uh-oh.” I had a speck of something lodged near the perimeter of my cornea. I got some anesthesia drops and with some highly tricky scraping of the surface she got it out and showed it to me on the end of her finger, about half the size of a pepper flake. Now I have different drops for the next 5 days.
