I appreciate any help I can get. I had no real visual problems other than dry eye until April 29, 2010 when a bungee cord struck my right eye. I developed a grade 2 hyphema, corneal abrasion, subconj. hemorrhage. marginal lid laceration, and conjuct. hemorrhage.
In May, I began to start to steaks of light and halos at night in BOTH eyes. I then started having glare and occasional starbursts. These visual aberrations have gradually worsened. I saw at least 5 ophthalmologists including a couple top doctors listed in Philly magazine. Finally one of them said I had Map Dot Fingerprint Dystrophy and a traumatic cataract in my right eye. I was given samples of Systane and told to return in 4 months without a referral to a Corneal Specialist. Nobody can explain why I am suddenly having all these symptoms but I think the steroid drops I put in my right eye immunocompromised my eyes which already had MDFD and were extremely dry from meds I had taken including Accutane and many psych meds.
I have been using Dwelle, Muro 128 ointment and drops and now have eye pain also. Has anyone heard of MDFD and these symptoms from medications? Does anyone have any suggestions ? I am trying to find the best Cornea specialist in Philadelphia or even Hopkins in Baltimore who will do a thorough exam including topography or keratometry ? Any advice sincerely appreciated.
