初めての眼科に行ってきました。
I went to my first eye doctor’s office.
この年で新しいことを体験できるというのは
貴重でございます。
It is precious to be able to experience something new at this age.

病院内の感じ The feeling in the hospital
受付は普通の病院と変わりない感じでした。
The reception area looked no different than a regular hospital.
診察室に行くまでの道中に
視力測定用のセットが複数置いてあり
眼科っぽさを感じられました。
On the way to the examination room, there were several sets for measuring eyesight, which made me feel like an eye doctor.
そして診察。
And medical examination.
先生の傍らに目を確認できる視力測定用っぽい診察台がありました。
There was an examination table by the doctor that looked like an eye-tester where he could check my eyes.
これが眼科か。
This is what ophthalmology is all about.
治療の目的 Purpose of treatment
眼球にゴミが入り
目に違和感がずっとありました。
have always had discomfort in my eyes due to debris in my eyeballs.
鏡で見ると
目のちょうど真ん中に白い点がありました。
I looked in the mirror and saw a white spot right in the middle of my eye.
それを取り除いてもらいに行ってきたのです。
I went to have it removed.
いざ！診察！ Here we go! Medical examination!
そっこうで白い点を発見。
The doctor quickly found the white spot.
なんか刺さっているねとのこと。
Something stings, he said.
取りますよー、その前に痛み止めの目薬しますねー。
He said. ” I’ll take it, but first I’m going to put some painkillers in your eyes.”
からの
目薬ぐさー。
And the eye drops go into my eyes.
結構しみます。
It stains a lot.
診察台に頭をのせます。
The procedure begins. I put my head on the examination table.
Here is the actual conversation between the doctor and me.
先生「目開けてくださいねー」
Doctor “Please open your eyes!”
私、目薬で目しみてるけど頑張って開ける。
Me, “Yes. My eyes are blotchy from the eye drops, but I do my best to open them.
先生「目開けてくださいねー」
Doctor “Please open your eyes!”
私「はーい」
Me, “I’m open”.
先生「目開けてくださいねー」
Doctor “Please open your eyes!”
私「えっ、目開いてないですか？」
Me, “What, my eyes aren’t open?”
先生「目開いてないです」
Doctor ” your eyes are not open”
おそらく眉毛だけあがっている状態だったのでしょうね。
Perhaps I was trying to open my eyes and only my eyebrows were raised.
私「目開けます」
Me, “open my eyes”
先生「上向かないで前向いて」
Doctor, “Don’t look up, look forward”
おそらく白目状態だったのでしょうね。
Perhaps I was in a white state trying to open my eyes.
これでも頑張っているのです。
I’m still working hard on this.
先生「光の方見ててください」
Doctor, “Watch the light.”
私「はーい」
Me, “Yes.
先生「とれましたよー」
Doctor, “I got it!”
取るの一瞬でした。
It was a moment to take it.
目を開けるやり取りの方が長かった。
The eye opening interaction was longer.
目を開けるって大変です。
Opening your eyes is hard work.
目薬をもらって帰宅です I’m getting eye drops and going home
刺さっていた箇所に穴が開いているので
目薬をもらって帰宅しました。
I went home after receiving eye drops for a hole in the puncture site.
目薬さすのも難しい。
It’s hard to apply eye drops.
今まで目薬をうまくさせたことがありません。
I have never been able to get eye drops to work.
まつ毛に伝わせる作戦と
目頭から伝わせる作戦がありますが
両方よくないみたいです。
Often I do two strategies, one is to let it run down to the eyelashes and the other is to let it run down from the inner corner of the eye.
Both seem not good.
目薬がほかのところに触れて目に入ると
ばい菌が入る可能性があるそうです。
I’ve heard that if the eye drops touch other parts of the eye and get into the eye, germs can get into the eye.
ということは
数うちゃ当たる作戦もあまりよくないかな。
So I guess the strategy of blindly dropping eye drops is not so good either.
ロート製薬のサイトに
正しい目薬の差し方が書いてありましたので
それを参考に頑張りたいと思います。
The Rohto website shows the correct way to apply eye drops.
I will do my best with that.

There is a Japanese proverb that says “eye drops from the second floor”.
It has two meanings.
・It means that it is frustrating to not be able to do something easily.
・It means that it is too inefficient to be effective.
The height of the second floor is about 3 meters.
It is indeed quite difficult to apply eye drops from 3 meters above.
If you are outdoors, the wind may also have an effect.
Also, in order to drop drops of water straight down, it is necessary to eliminate the blurring of the wrist as much as possible.
There is a big problem here.
In order for one person to perform this task, it is necessary to reach the first floor faster than the speed at which the drop of water falls.
And to get the drops perfectly in place, it is necessary to be in a firm position to receive the drops.
Of course, safety comes first, so no dangerous methods are allowed.
Must reach the first floor without injury.
According to the law of universal gravitation, the speed of falling is constant regardless of the weight of the object.
It is necessary to apply some kind of force, not just to descend.
It would be nice if you could run down a wall.
These are the things we need.
・Concentration to drop one drop of eye drops
・Muscle strength to hold hands in place
・Running ability to run down the wall
・Nimble body movements
・Toughness to avoid injury
・The ability to make the best decision at a moment’s notice.
・The mental toughness to carry out the plan.
We need to have all of the above.
We must not lose even one of them.
It is probably the ninja who can do this.
I admire ninjas.
I would like to start with what I can do.
I will make an effort to give eye drops from 10cm above.
I will do my best.
