  • Corneal Erosion - I've Had It - PTK Again

    Well - my RCES is again escalating in both pain and frequency. I'm so classically conditioned now that every time I awaken I often feel myself pressing my head down into my pillow expecting excruciating pain even when I don't have erosions. I'm calling Monday to schedule another PTK in hopes to resolve this once and for all. I've tried just about everything else (well almost - will save the two things for last).

    I think I've tried just about everything. It's hard to believe that for four years I could awaken, keep my eyes still and just add artificial tears before moving my eyelids and I was fine. This syndrome is so unforgiving.

    I'm trying to stay optimistic but right not RCES is fully in control and the pain is horrible for about 15-30 minutes.

    I don't want "management techniques" anymore because this thing just swings wildly and does what it wants. I want to be rid of this thing once and for all. I'm hoping my second PTK resolves this thing.

    Best to all,
    Mike

    That's so true. It feels really out of control.

    I wish you the best with the next PT.
