Recently, our 2-year old son had weird symptoms in his left eye (it was so sensitive to light, teary-eyed, and a little inflammation). After using normal sterile eye drops for a few days and Polysporin for one time as they did not work out, we went to the Pediatric Emergency in Surrey Memorial Hospital and after waiting for over 3 hrs in there, although the incompetent Emergency Doctor used the slit lamp he said there is nothing evident to diagnose and we should continue using Polysporin for another 4 days, and if still, the symptoms do not vanish we should see an ophthalmologist.
Thanks be to God that we did not listen to him! The next business day, we contacted Dr. Tam's clinic, and she was so nice to accept us on the same day even though the clinic was busy. Due to the hard reactions of our son, she could not perform a full examination at the clinic and suggested having sedation at the hospital in the evening. She was very accountable and kind in guiding us throughout the process.
Dr. Tam came to the emergency in the evening as she had arranged, spent hrs waiting to have nurses make the arrangements, and carefully examined the eye using the same slit lamp that the night before the emergency doctor could not see anything using it. Dr. Tam found a tiny foreign object stuck right in the center of our son's eye. Her great dexterity in removing the object was exceptional. She gave absolute relief for the pain.
Thanks, Dr. Tam, You did a great job!!
