Shopping at Imperial Mall

It was only recently we stepped into Imperial Mall for the very first time. We quite like the mall. Maybe it's something new compared to the others we've been frequenting LOL. It's actually inside Imperial Hotel and it has the Boulevard Hypermarket too.

Interesting stuff we bought? I found a nice pair of sandals and Augustine made new glasses (with built-in sunnies). I chose the frame for him, it's from Louis Koo's collection called Level Nine 9 ;-) And it came in a nice army like case in military green. Very cool indeed ;-) They have very nice sunnies too ;-)

Suspected ulcer in my right pupil

I went to an optometrist at Imperial Mall on Wednesday night thinking to make a new contact lense for my right eye, coz even after using the new solution, my right eye wasn't very much better :-(

After checking my eyes, the optometrist informed me that I have ulcers in my right pupil and advised me to urgently see an eye specialist. She recommended me a few specialists to contact here in Miri. I am grateful to have met a very kind optometrist.

There isn't a residing eye specialist here in Miri, they are all on a visiting basis, but thank God I managed to catch one coming this Saturday.

Since Wednesday night, I have not been wearing my contact lenses. I am praying for God's miraculous healing on my right eye. Please pray for me thanks. I am not feeling too worried about this, I have gone through worse in my life and God has never failed to pull me through.

I am not sure if I should ever wear my contact lenses again, but I am planning to make a new pair of spectacles. But I will have to check with the specialist first coz my right vision perhaps is not very accurate at the moment due to the ulcer.

Contact Lense Solution Crisis

Part and parcel of adapting in a new city is finding places to get certain services or products.

My right lense is occasionally irritating my eyes recently and I ran out of a Boston cleaner that I could easily buy from Guardian or any other optical shops back home. For more than two weeks here in Miri, I checked every pharmarcy and optical shop that we passed by when we went shopping or makan and I was very disappointed to find out that they only stocked solutions for soft contact lenses. Does that mean everyone in this city is wearing soft contact lenses?

Mine are semi-hard lenses and I have been wearing them since I was 15 therefore I need a solution for rigid gas permeable contact lenses. I was almost giving up after my nth time of asking and sms-ed sis to courier to me. Thing is there are many many optical shops in Miri, but none had the solution I was looking for! Augustine told me not to give up and so we continued checking the many optical shops at Imperial Mall yesterday and finally I found one (it is probably the one and only!) selling it! In fact, the optometrist told me Boston now has a new all-in-one solution. Thank God for the discovery! My right lense is now OK after I started using the solution. The optometrist confirmed that she can also make new semi-hard lenses and I am very relieved to know that if I need to urgently make a new lense for my right eye, I can do it here in Miri ;-)

I've been seeing the same specialist back home all these years, although the specialist recommends that I use a particular solution and protein removers on a monthly basis, I recently realised the Boston solution was a better choice for me.
