Iritis

I have a made up disease. At least, it sounds completely made up.

I saw two doctors who didn't know what was wrong with me before I went to a third who said "Hmm. Well, I think you have.... Iritis!". Essentially, my eyeball is swollen. Weird, right? I have to use steroid eye drops for a month as well as a dilation drop - which means I have one giant pupil and one normal one. I look like an Alien. If you know me, you'll know what a problem this is for me.

Creepy eyes indeed, Lauren.

Man, I hope you didn't look like the example person on the wikipedia page for it...that's terrible!

They also have two photo examples of the "alien" look you're talking about.

I hope you recover quickly, and that it might be sunny enough for you to get away with wearing sunglasses all the time!

I WEAR MY SUNGLASSES AT NIGHT!

(Because I have a degenerative eye condition. No, really, it hurts.)
