long time no it started just 3 days ago oh no I think it was 5 days ago in the gym after I played badminton so it was after you played badminton what is the symptom exactly I see these flashing lights I can't figure out what happened do you know what it is um I didn't know that e either at the moment what was the condition of the room where you played badminton was it very dark oh it was very bright sometimes I couldn't even open my eyes since then I haven't been able to see things
clearly oh that might be the reason and have you ever been treated before for anything like dizziness well I went into Central Hospital last month because of severe headache and they kept me in for observation for a couple of days but they couldn't find anything wrong okay I'll make a note of that too thank you I think I've got all the information I need right now and there are two suggestions for you one is that you should take a good rest if you find yourself looking at a screen for too long you should look away
focus on a point in the distance for approximately 10 to 20 seconds and then focus on something closer to you repeating this a few times should keep your eyes from getting tired thanks and what about the second one I'll give you some eye drops you can use it before bed that should reduce levels of ice drain here's the prescription if the situation doesn't improve in a week come back and see me again I see thank you for your advice I will give it a try goodbye bye that is the end of part one you now
