Photography Thailand Forum

[Willy Nyland]

This is a bit off-topic, but I find it amusing (and irritating at the same time).

Something happened while I was sleeping (after all it's halloween...).
I woke up and got shocked when looking in the mirror.
The doctor said it's some kind of infection, and it should be fine after a couple of days.

Pwew!
Almost thought my future as a photographer is long gone.
Fortunately my "aiming eye" is the left one, so I can still take photos in this condition.

For once the *photographer* have the red-eye problem, and not the subject...

What you have looks like conjunctivitis, or "Pink Eye" as it is also known which is an eye infection. I have had it a couples times in Thailand myself. It is very contagious and uncomfortable, but clears up in about 4-7 days if you get the right eye drops for it from the doctor. If it does not start to get better soon with what the doctor gave you already, then best to go to the Rutanin Eye hospital on Asoke Road. If you have someone like a girlfriend who is in close proximity to you all the time they could have it too within 24 hours. It is also possible it could spread to your other eye as well so be careful. I hope it gets better soon. It looks worse than it is, but still very uncomfortable. Best wishes.
