A Singaporean girl who graduated from a Medical College in the UK and currently working as a doctor, spending most of my years abroad burying myself amongst medical books, speaking Queen's English and trying to adapt to life in Britain. But I still remain a true blue Singaporean who loves my plate of char kway teow and enjoys the sense of closeness when speaking "Singlish" to my fellow countrymen. Why "The Chinese Doctor"? Because that's what my patients call me since they don't know my name!

Incoordination

This has been a problem for years, but something tells me that there is more to it.

Years ago, when I went to an optometrist for specs/lenses fitting, I was told that I can never get a sharp focus on things. Reason being my right eye muscles are weak. I never knew what he meant. Years later, I went to an opthalmologist, and mentioned this to him. The ophthalmologist never told me if this was true..and I thought perhaps there was no such thing.

However, as time went by, I'm beginning to wonder if what the optometrist said is true. I've been living with blurred vision (despite specs/lenses) for a long time, but recently, my vision has deteriorated to a level whereby it has been rather disturbing. And it's not just my vision getting more blur, but now it feels that my eyes aren't coordinating. Many times, I realise that I'm having to use only my left eye to be able to see something clearly. Movement of my right eye doesn't feel right either, and I tend to either tear or feel some pain in my right eye when I look towards the left.

I thought perhaps it's the lenses, but the same problem occurs when I'm wearing my specs as well. And I didn't realise that my vision has been deteriorating until I realise that I'm not even able to read road signs now. Yes, not kidding on this.

Will be seeing an optometrist soon to check my vision, but at the back of my mind, I'm seriously wondering if there is a bigger problem than just my vision. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. Perhaps I should seek an opthalmologist's opinion on this, but then again, I'm quite scared to do so.
