Description
Woke up with a swollen eye. Immediately went to my ophthalmologist and he diagnosed it as a pinkeye. According to the office, a lot of people have been coming in with infections from surrounding areas and say it is very possible the bacteria in the water due to sewer spillage has been causing this problem
