Went Blind Today (Seriously)

There is no need for anaesthesia when it comes to fillings. Pain is a good indicator for the dentist to evaluate the damage.
 
I had to go the dentist this morning for a filling.

The dentist injected my gum with anesthetic to numb my gum before drilling.

Except the anesthetic accidentally went into a blood vessel.

The anesthetic travelled up my blood stream into my eyes.

I opened my eyes and everything was a blur.

I couldn't see anything. Then I started burning up and felt sick.

I told the dentist and his assistant that I couldn't see anything and I could hear the panic in there voices.

Then the dentist tilted me backward in the chair and put a cold flannel in my head to bring my temperature down.

20 mins later I could see again but can't focus my eyes properly.

6 hours later I'm much better but still not 100%

How's your day going?

Why in the world I visualized this as a scene from movie Final Destination.?

 
True.

Take care there and maybe visit some ophthalmologist so that if at all there is some temporary/ permanent damage, you will at least know it as soon as possible.

Will keep you in my prayers for sure.
Thanks mate.

I spoke to an optician today and they said I should have gone to hospital (accident & emergency) because I went blind.

But instead I decided to document my experience with all you guys.

Anyway, I have to go get my eyes checked out tomorrow to make sure there's no damage.

They just don't feel right (behind my eyes)
 
Consult a Opthalmologist just to be in safe side opticians are technical people not doctors
Thanks for this.

I've just searched for one locally and found one near were I live.

I've never heard of a Opthalmologist....

Opticians are people who just check your vision ,by showing charts and other methods.
They are not doctors they are just people who just check your vision but opthalmologists are medical doctors who treat your eye ,where are you from ? if not secret
 
hell of an experience

Get well soon, mate.

I think you should avoid screen time, just as a precaution.
