  • Is this what is causing pain? (found something interesting on wiki)

    Not sure if this is what is causing the pain, but thought it could be the reason..

    Recurrent corneal erosion is a disorder of the eyes characterized by the failure of the cornea's outermost layer of epithelial cells to attach to the underlying basement membrane (Bowman's layer). The condition is frequently painful because the loss of these cells results in the exposure of sensitive corneal nerves.

    Here's the link for complete info..

    I thought since most dry eye users, find there eye sticky in the morning, this must be causing Corneal Erosion & hence the pain after the DryEye problem becomes severe.

    Sai--This, indeed, is good old RCE (recurrent corneal erosions) that many of us suffer from. This puts it in a nice concise manner. Good description.
