My cornea either erodes, or calluses form on them. Very unpleasant sensation of something in my eye.
Doc basically scraped my corneal surface off, then rinsed it, then put contact-lens bandaid on it. My eye was numbed before this.
Hurts like a mother. Followup tomorrow

(34,112 posts)that sounds awful. I hate eye pain. I am sorry it hurts so much but hopefully it will be worth it.

(23,711 posts)Can't even imagine "scraping the corneal surface off". I would think that would be mighty painful. Hope the pain subsides soon and your vision is OK.

I may ask for the small vicodin rx. It's pretty bad

(11,103 posts)I went through years of corneal abrasions before the cornea finally failed to be replaced by a cadaver cornea. It was exquisitely painful. Nothing sense has begun to get my attention.
The good news is that it feels so good when it quits hurting.
