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.
Just like the question, I woke up this morning some eye pain. It felt like something was stuck in there and not getting out. The pain was not moving when I was moving my eye around either. The pain was located on the right side of my left eye (closer to the nose). Maybe an hour after I woke up i didn't feel the pain anymore but now vision in my left eye is blurry like pre-PRK blurry. Should I go to make an appointment with my eye-docter?
I use eye drops every day throughout the day. Sometimes my eye pain jolts me out of bed in the middle of the night. They keep burning for at least 20-30 minutes & i cannot lay down as the pressure is too much. My eyes are swollen in the morning when this happens. I'm almost afraid of sleep because this eye pain is as severe as when I was first recovering from PRK. My eyes are not red throughout the day, they just constantly feel dry. Any suggestions are welcome. I am tired of this happening.
I had PRK a month ago, today I woke up and everything was fine however during the middle of the day I noticed the vision on my right eye went hazy. After awhile the haze increased and now there is extreme pain on my right eye and it is hard to keep open. What should I do?
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 just had my pkr surgery 2 weeks ago, I rarely have any dry eye besides 1st thing in the morning waking up. Im trying to find anything that could possibly help cus it can be quit painful 1st thing in the morning.
I had my PRK procedure done exactly one year ago. Every so often they get EXTREMELY dry overnight. On several occasions I've shot out of bed because I get a sudden burning/scraping feeling behind one eye or both. It's then hard to open my eyes, they start to water, eventually I can open them, then sometimes it hurts to close them. Using eye drops often stings and makes it worse. At one point I woke up with extremely painful dry eyes, and there was a small bruise on my eyelid the next morning.
I had my PRK surgery 35 days ago,n' my niece accidentally poked my left eye really bad with her finger. I felt pain and redness inside my eye, and I did put my drops, I tried to visit my doctor but its closed and tmw is holiday too so he's not there!, I feel like the eye that got poked has the same vision but when I look at the lights I think it's a little blurry (only the lights). so what are the possibilities after 1 month(35days)? should I do any thing till i see my doctor? thank you!
From trying to rinse my face with ONLY water, even the slight fingers going over my eyes hurts. I cannot wear any make-up without crying from it burning my eyes. I am freaking out and feel like my vision is getting worse. I have to use gel drops at night and drops during the day. Is there hope? Will this go away? Are my eyes still healing?
