I managed to injure the epithilium on both eyes and developed corneal lesions after a particularly bad bout of dry eye. I spent more than two weeks at home, hunkering in the dark due to photosensitivity, without any pain medications. The pain was intense enough that it felt like needles going directly into my eyes, with radiating pain that wrapped all the way around my head. With antibiotic eyedrops and therapeutic contact lenses, my eyes were able to heal, but for a time I was at risk of blindness. I sympathize with anyone who has chronic pain, especially the psychological aspect of facing a life severely diminished.
