T'was me!
It was corneal neuropathy, a ridiculously painful condition where the corneal nerves are all running a muck. The cornea is the most nerve dense area of the body. Luckily, for the last decade a doctor in Boston has been researching it. And has the Cure! For us lucky ones. There are quite a few people still struggling with it, because it can come back or just diminish but not go away completely. But I had my corneas cut into (cataract surgery) according to Dr. Hamrah's instructions, and so far I'm fine. And see better than ever!
But...interesting timing to talk about eyes....i went to put in some autologous drops (part of the Boston protocol) and this is what i saw: 
I've had this once before recently. Not painful at all. But scary as heck. A friend with CN told me what it was but I can't remember. Fairly harmless though. Too bad I didn't have it for Halloween ;)
