Fuch' corneal surgery   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #74 of 85 |
19 months ago I had corneal surgery in my right eye, a week after the
surgery I was back on the operateing table getting it done again.
When the doctor saw me in his office a few days later he said there
was something wrong that this cornea was also going bad so he said
the only way to help it heal properly was to sew my lids shut. He did
this in his office which was not a pleasant experience, as I was put
through terrific pain with this being done. The problem is still
ongoing without answers. I am looking at most probably another
surgery real soon for the same eye. I am very worried about this, I
guess what I am curious about is , have any of you ever had such
problems. This will make 3 times for the same eye. I also have to use
duratears ointment 4 times a day plus my eye drops 4 times a day.
When my surgery was 1 year old he sugested contac lens, after 3 days
my eye was so irritated I could hardly touch it. The lens was moveing
around and irritateing because of the ointment he told me to
continue. When I went to see him for this I was told that perhaps I
was not ready for this.
Appreciate any input.
Thank you,
Jennie
