I went for my follow-up eye examination last Thursday. The doctor seemed a little puzzled that I had shown no improvement and suggested that I undergo a few more tests. He asked for my consent first, pointing out that it won't be cheap.
At first, I was somewhat relieved that we were going to be making progress but, much to my annoyance, by the end of it, (1) the bill was the equivalent of what I take home every month, and (2) the doctor still couldn't pinpoint what I was suffering from (he says I have some symptoms of eye diseases but it is too early to tell). He then sent me home with the same bunch of medication and told me to return in 2 months to see if there is any further development. 2 months?! I feel like I just wasted my time and money for nothing.
I guess the only things I can do for now is to live my life normally until the next check-up. If that still doesn't work, perhaps it is time I seek a 2nd opinion. I hear that Traditional Chinese Medicine is pretty effective nowadays so I might give that a shot.
