ysobelso I go to sit down to dinner, and all of a sudden my eyes go into full-on red-alert everybody-to-battle-stations mode. Some sort of really burning pain aggravated by having them open (air contact maybe? idk).
ten minutes of yelping, rubbing my eyes, *not* rubbing my eyes, having my roommate help wash them off with a damp washcloth, etc, got me to the point where I could have my eyes open without searing agony ... as long as I was okay with about one second's worth of squinting tear-blurred "open" about every twenty seconds or so.
eating is, for me, challenging enough -- I have forks/spoons that are basically on a foot-long plastic stick wielded from waist level. it does sort of require visual feedback in order to aim the fork/spoon at my mouth ad not, like, my ear.
I have no idea what caused it, how to keep it from happening again, or even how to make it go away.
/whimper/
(it has been another ten minutes or so, otherwise I wouldn't be able to type this -- my left hand touch types but the right keyboard is operated with a stick so I can reach the mouse with my hand, because that works better than trying to shove the mouse over with a stick -- and "touch typing" with the stick for half the letters gives at best a sentence that kooks sionewhat kuje this -- but I still have one eye squinched shut and the other one only partway open and blinking often)
