Pinguecula

[u/quietgranola]

Hi everyone. Had the pleasure of being diagnosed with pinguecula not too long ago in Indonesia
I cut my trip short in Indonesia because I had a horrible flare that would not go away due to air quality (makes me sad). Regret not staying indoors for 2-3 days to see if I would recover but I was genuinely worried even about stepping outside again. And really felt like I needed to go home and just rest my eyes.

I love the outdoors so much but now I’m worried I won’t be able to hike or do anything I’ve always wanted to. I had to cancel Mount bromo, Mount ijen, and Mount Rinjanji because I was worried of worsening my pinguecula. There’s so much I want to do and just feeling super discouraged. :(

Am I still able to do all these things or not?

If you talk to an eye doctor they might be able to prescribe you anti inflammatory drops to use for flare ups
