Ulcer on eye
Posted: Wed 02 Nov 2011 1:33 pm
Well apparently I have an ulcer or an abrasion on my bad eye I found out this morning. Things had been going well with the Clearkone lens I have been trying, it's fits great and is comfortable (albeit the prescription is poor with only very minimal improvement in my eyesight). I went for a routine fitting checkup this morning and the optom noticed a different prescription and used the yellow dye to check my eye and found something.
I am not sure how this happened, it is not sore, although both eyes have been itchy, watery and sensitive in the last week during which time i've had a bad cold. Optom has me a little worried as she has insisted I return on Saturday to have it checked again. She has kept my lens as I can't wear it, also prescribed me with Chloramphenicol antibiotic drops and Clinitas Hydrate drops for moisturising until then.
Has anyone had anything like this? How does it occur? How long does it take to clear? Will there be any lasting effects to my bad eye?
Thanks
Gill
