For the eye doctors or people with similar eye problem?
I have scratched corneas (both of 'em) and once in a while they scratch the inside of the eyelid, when that happens, it hurts like hell. I have tried putting a patch on it but it only makes it worse. I have been to some of the best eye surgeons in NYC and they all said that you can't really heal this, the scratches on both corneas are there to stay for the life time. What they couldn't explain was why do they scratch the inside of the eyelid (one doctor said it's because the scratch gets infected and gets swollen and it causes abrasion inside the eyelid). I see a black spot on a light bulb while I have the problem, when it goes away the vision is fine. I keep the eye open and although it hurts upon blinking it heals it over time. Big problem is when I go to sleep it scratches inside the eyelid and I am back to zero the next morning with a lot of pain. I use gatifloxacin eye drops (pretty harsh so I don't use 'em unless I need them). As a doctor would you see a permanent solution to this? Some opthalmologist said I should get diamond pollish (that's what he said is the name of the surgery is). I didn't feel comfortable with it so I haven't done it. The eye surgeon in new york also said to stay away from any laser (lasik or similar) surgeries as that could cause blindness. I am also told to never wear contact lenses. They put bandage lense when I go for treatment but the doctor takes it out when the medication has improved the situation. Any information or help is appreciated. If you think there's a doctor out there who can help, please let me know.
