This story is true.
I was diagnosed about 15 years ago.
Eyes (mostly right eye) were getting progressively worse. Reached the point where soft (toric xr) lenses were no longer working. I was going to get fitted for hard lenses in the coming week.
I stayed at a friend's house.
I had an allergic reaction to her cat.
My eyes got severely swollen.
The next day, I could see with my soft lenses again. Optometrist didn't believe me. Until I went in and she tested.
My eyes had been 'relatively' stable since that...but have recently started to get worse again.
I always thought it was something to explore scientifically. I had another eye doc say it was all in my head. (If only one could will themselves to see better...).
The best treatment when I was diagnosed was the implantation of plastic rings into the eye to change its shape. I always suspected that there could have been a shape change. Or maybe just fortunately-placed deterioration of my corneas from the reaction.
