Hey there,

If it's affecting your vision, I would definitely go and get a doctor's certificate for the illness. With that being said, however, I would still advise you to SIT THE EXAMINATION - because no matter how badly you do in the examination, the derived score is always a conservative score, so you have a better shot getting a better mark if you sit the exam, and then applied for a derived score afterwards just in case!

Hope it gets better! But if it burns still by this afternoon, I'd probably go to the Doctor's :)
