Why is it the moment I decide to become more health-conscious eye wise that I develop a corneal ulcer the same day?

Basically, my cornea has been damaged and compromised by bacteria that will cause blindness if left untreated or is improperly treated. 

According to the ophthalmologist, aggressive antibiotic treatment--which means administering eye drops every hour for about a week--will take care of the problem in no time.

Nevertheless, I will be scarred for life--branded for my negligence.  I suppose it'll serve as a constant reminder for myself to adhere to contact lens guidelines more rigidly.

Lesson learned.
