I had PRK surgery 7 days ago, I went to my second follow up appt. yesterday and the doctor took out the contact bandage, he said there was epithelium left around the eye and I was going to feel like a had dirt in my eye which I did, my eye got very watery and burning like sensation. He put the contact back on and said to leave it for two more days. I am still using the steroid drops and today they started to hurt my eye when I apply them. I feels like something is stabbing my eye.
I've been using Systane Ultra Lubricant Eye Drops. After a week and two of those bottles as I used them nearly every 15 minutes and I'm still experiencing blurriness so I reached out to a friend. I showed them what I was using and they mentioned that they should be preservative free. I'm wondering if I did any damaged or caused any harm to my eyes after using eye drops for a whole week that were not preservative free even though I did follow the instructions with all the other drops precisely.
I had surgery 6 years ago with lasik and needed an enhancement 1.5 months ago.. turns out I have a 2.25 overcorrection... I was told to put a salt eye drop in my eye (hurts) for a month... and they would look at it again Should I worry? Is it correctable? Will it heal overtime?
I had prk surgery 11 days ago. It was okay until day 9, two days after the contact removal, my right started to really hurt and I could barley open it. I work 12 hour shifts and commute a total of 2 hours for my job. Now on day 11 my right eye is much worse, it is in constant pain, and watering extremely. The prescription eye drops burn on it now, where they didn't before. I am returning to the office I had the surgery tomorrow is there something I can do to help now, any idea why it happened?
I had PRK surgery done to both of my eyes yesterday, March 30th, 2018. My eylids are so swollen and my eyes are burning. I've been using the drops exactly as prescribed. Can I use warm compresses on my eyelids for the swelling?
I am planning on getting PRK done soon but want to know how necessary steroid eye drops are? I've heard from an ophthalmologist specializing in cataracts in my area that they increase a person's chances of developing cataracts earlier in life. Is it possible to avoid or minimize the use of steroid drops in my eyes after PRK?
Since then, I have had a total of 4 cornea abrasions between both eyes. Every night before bed, I put Muro128 ointment on my water-line so my eyes stay lubricated (the abrasion usually occurs when I open my eyes in the morning). I also have trained myself not to open my eyes when I first wake up without putting in wetting drops in each eye. I feel like I am doing everything possible yet this is still continuing to happen to me.My eye doctor has really been great helping me understand what is happening and what steps are appropriate for me. The last time I had an abrasion on my right eye (2 months ago) I wore a bandage contact for 4 weeks. For me wearing a contact over night would eliminate this problem I am having since each abrasion I have had has happened over night.
I recently did a PRK due to my cornea is thin my doctor prescribed me to use FML eye drops. Which I read it can thin out the cornea and can also cause high eye pressure. The dosage he told me was for the first week 4 drops each day 4 separate times then second week 3 drops per day the 3rd week 2 drops per day and 4 th week 1 drop per day so what I want to know is there a big risk?
I had a PRK surgery 15 months ago. I still use eye drops (Hyabuak) because I feel my eyes dry.I would like to know if I will use eye drops for all of my life. What is more, if it is logical to see better from one eye. Furthermore, sometimes I feel a little pain in my eyes. This one is appeared last 2 months. Maybe because I join in army and here the enviroment is not so clear.
