I see what you mean; but I would suspect that , as mentioned, it would more than likely be specific to the eye?...So maybe the eye which you have had the hydrops doesnt have a strong/as good as; back membrane.........therefore it cant tolerate any change to the cornea and thus stress to the back layers? iIn effect you may not have as strong corneal layers as the average joe with KC.......as having 3 Hydrops is not very common as I am sure you may be aware.....blame it on the eyes!...thats what Id say!!

Sorry for the late reply. I was busy preparing for my exams the past few days. I had missed taking it earlier.

I'm quite alright now. My eye doesn't hurt as much as before. However, the doctor is concerned that the swelling hasn't gone down much even though it's the third week already.

He prescribed some eye drops for me.

1) Sodium Chloride 5% W/V Eye Drops
2) PRED FORTE Prednisolone Acetate 1% Ophthalmic Suspension
3) MAXIDEX Dexamethasone 0.1% Solution
4) OPTICHLOR Chloramphenicol Solution USP

Does anyone know what they are for? Thanks.

Hope you do well on the exams!!


1) Sodium Chloride 5% W/V Eye Drops -
2) PRED FORTE Prednisolone Acetate 1% Ophthalmic Suspension
3) MAXIDEX Dexamethasone 0.1% Solution -
4) OPTICHLOR Chloramphenicol Solution USP

The combination of drops will basically speed up the regression of the swelling and also provide a resistance against infection within the eye/cornea.

How is the eye feeling in general?

It feels generally when I don't touch it. The pain will only arises when I squint my eyes, or when my eyelids accidentally touched it.

I'll keep in mind. Thanks. :wink:

My school exams are postponed to next week. So, in a way, I was luckier to have one more month of preparation. But, my driving school is not that understanding. They kicked me out once they heard of my condition, reason being I was a potential danger for other motorists, even though I had only one more semester to go before I get my license.

all the best when the exams come round.

I guess you'll hve to wait until your hydrops settles down and then if your sight is of driving standard pick up again with the driving lessons
