Anyone ever have Recurrent Corneal Erosion? I do.

Eye patch baw

I read this as cornhole erosion

I hate to read this. I hope you get the proper help so you aren’t in anymore pain. Please let know if here is anything I can do for you.

No but I have floating spots in my vision

Looks like I'm staring through a pair of glasses with dirt on them.

But I don't wear glasses and the dirt moves around

Got a scratch on my eye last week

No means no.

I treat this quite a bit. It is a lot more common than people realize. In some cases, the only way to stop it from occurring over and over is to do a laser procedure called a PTK.

I did this on a patient today that had a recurrent erosion that would not stop recurring.

Yeah I was keeping it together until he mentioned the procedure. I can barely put drops in my eyes without blinking or squirming or acting like a baby. Scraping off part of my eye with a laser? Hells to the no.

I had that happen after my daughter poked me in the eye. Too a long time and a good eye doctor to help me. Get a sleeping mask, this will help keep your eyes from drying out at night. I like the ones that the eye areas are bulged out so that it doesn't rub on your lids. When you wake up, don't open your eyes immediately, roll them around under your lids like you are trying to look in all directions with only your eyeballs. Then slowly open your lids. This will keep your lids from pulling away at the scar tissue until it can heal properly. Get some good lubricating eye drops, I like Systane Ultra, not too thin or thick. Good luck and I hope it gets better.
