Can an eye be damaged from long exposure to the light in exam.

Thank you for your response. Yes, I did try to talk with the Doctor my last visit. When I brought the subject up about the right eye and the prolonged exposure that was painful, and how I never had this problem till after that Exam Sept in 2023. She quickly said you got ________(some big long word) and gave me some drops and a few packs of eye wipes. No instructions on the drops as far as how often. She did not want to discuss it! Anyway, I go back to this Doctor next week and I wanted to find out if anyone thought it is possible that the long and painful exposure could have contributed to this condition. Thank you for your response and advice, very much appreciated.

I hope you have a better experience with your eye doctor this time. It’s really frustrating and certainly leaves you with a negative feeling when your concerns are dismissed like that.
At this next appointment, considering you’re still having an issue with that eye watering, have a list of written questions or concerns for that doctor that you’d like addressed. Let her know the drops haven’t worked and is there anything else you should be doing to help alleviate the dryness and discomfort you’re having.
Did you try the warm compresses on your eye at all? That can really help soothe the eye and also help to open up the tear duct so the eye stays lubricated. Better luck with your appointment this time!
