Ever since I had The Fifth Element my allergies have exacted their revenge in my eyes. I roll out of bed any time of the year to eyes that look like this-
A slight redness that stays all day, usually gets worse and makes people think my kids never sleep or I like smoking doobies all day. Playdates don’t come easy with eyes like these.
Then there are days or weeks where I look more like this-
You try rolling up to preschool pick up looking like this. Better yet checking into a hotel at midnight, dressed all in black (makes for easy traveling, I swear!), with eyes like those. I think the front desk clerk feared for her jugular when I asked for a second room key. At least I don’t glimmer in the sun (makes me throw up in my mouth, just a little bit).
Hilarious. If I were you, I’d run with the whole red eye thing and make up stories when asked about…like the doobies. 🙂
Some days I just say to people, “I know. I shouldn’t be out in the sunlight but sometimes you just have to chance it!” Ha.
I didn’t have any kids and my eyes do the same thing this past year or two. I hate it.
Really? I haven’t met anyone else with this issue? If it rains or snows even in winter they now turn blood red. It’s crazy! Does that also happen to you?
Since they are almost always so red it’s hard to determine what effect the weather has on them. I have noticed that first thing in the morning they are the scariest. I don’t know what to do about it other than use obscene amounts of eyedrops. But the drops only help for 5 or 10 minutes max. I hate it. It ages me.
