Just diagnosed...

Well, originally I thought it was a bad case of dry eye... Turns out I have Episcleritis. For now, my opthomologist recommend I use cold compresses at least twice a day and use lubricating eye drops when needed. He mentioned the steroid based eye drops if it gets worse or doesn't clear up on it's own and he mentioned the potential side effects which have left me a little freaked out about the future of my eye health. :(
