I had Hydrops last November.

Woke up in the morning put my sclerals in and thought there was a bubble...took it out, wasked it again same thing.

Then about 3 hours later Pain set it

Went to Manchester Eye Hospital as I was wrking in the North that time, and they gave me the Pupil Dialators and Anti Biotics.

Thats it

Was very blase about it and no understanding of what I was going through. Was not impressed.

But anyway, I stopped wearing my lens in that eye as after about 7 days it started going the Misty colour....thats all normal

Its now September, My Hydrops headled probabaly fully in July, BUT

One thing I will say is that for me Hydrops was the best thing to happen to my eye

Why?

My right eye was the worst, advanced. After hydrops my KC has flattened my Scleral Lens has gone down 3 levels (the steepnes measurement I think) and I can get 20/20 - 20/40

Was my pain worth it? YES
