Condition that causes problems with eye sight.

Ok so about 3 and a half years ago I experienced some problems with my eyesight.
My eyes felt gritty and my vision went very blurred and it was very distressing.
I was given two lots of eye drops.
One to dilate my pupils and the other was a steroid.
But I cannot remember what the condition was they told me I had.
Anyone got any idea what it might be? For some reason I panic about a relapse and have a fear of losing my eyesight.

The papers don't tell you things like this.
:yes: I've sometimes looked up things as a starting point. I do have a friend who has the same condition as I do and has a website. He found on Google, parents were panicking and being told horror stories about their kids going blind later on in life - unless there's a much more serious underlying visual problems, Nystagmus doesn't lead to blindness. However, a few people are born blind.
It usually affects the lungs, liver etc and in rare cases (like mine) the eyes. Where it can cause problems like Uveitis.
I don't know why I always get myself in a fluster about things like this because it always turns out to be for nothing but I have some sort of horrible and stupid fear of going blind. And not just for the fact of not being able to see anything its just because I love reading lol.
