Ulcer?

Postby sladey700 » Thu 28 Apr 2016 9:08 pm

Hi all

Woke up last Friday with a white covering over my left eye. Just been told it's an ulcer by the optometrist at the hospital. Been given a number of drops and told that vision will not come back for another month or two. Is that right or just erring on the side of caution?
Would be interested in hearing other experiences? Also I wear sclera like lenses, anyone got some knowledge around when is good to put the lens back in?

Cheers

Adam

I would have thought you need to wait until the ulcer is completely healed, but do check with your optometrist. Have you got a follow up appointment?
