Eye testing

2021-01-23 05:31:00
I had gone for a eye test and consultation after the slit lamp test where the doctor uses the light to test the eye, I feel like I might have some weird feeling in my right eye although nothing is painful but I am not completely sure how to describe this but sometimes I feel like I maybe need to rub my right eye. Now I am not sure bcs I have anxiety issues so it might be psychological as well. Is there any risk in the slit lamp test?

There's no risk involved with the slit lamp examination. It's just like any normal room light entering your eye.
