Hello all,
I am new to the Dry Eye Zone. I developed recurrent corneal erosion 2 weeks after I accidently poked myself in the eye with a tweezer in 2009. I have tried Muro drops and ointment, Doxycyline, steroid drops and several OTC drops for dry eye. I also have had 3 surgeries (anterior stromal puncture, diamond burr superficial keratectomy, and PTK)-all failed. I now use a BCL (for almost a year) that I change every 3 weeks. I also use Optive drops every 2-3 hours and I started using Dwelle about 2 months ago. I am still getting erosions about every 3-4 weeks. So disappointing. In August, I started getting erosions in another place other than my injury. I suspect this is from the surgeries as they scraped an area larger than the injured spot. This leaves my eye blurry for anywhere from 1-2 weeks. I also have dry eye. Would love to get rid of this horrible mess.
