So I found out I have this 3 weeks ago. I have had dry eyes for the past few years. My vision started to become blurry in my left eye and now I have terrible symptoms in my left eye. I constantly feel like I have sand in that eye, the astigmatism is unreal, most mornings I can barely open my eye and it hurts so much, even when my eye is closed, and especially if I roll my eye. I use drops, I use an ointment but it doesn’t seem to be getting better. I know there isn’t a cure but what else can I do? It feels like my eye is being scratched and torn all day. Edited to add I am 28 years old and it seems to be progressing rather quickly, I just don’t know how far it will progress and to what…

Excellent presentation! I had both corneas resurfaced in 1996 due to map-dot-fingerprint (Cogan’s). There were dry eye problems as well as extreme pain. I was amused during the procedure because the shape of the resurfacing tool reminded me of the “Ronco” fuzz-buster used to remove fuzz piles from sweaters. After the procedure, I used Muro128 for a number of years.

[@TCayFF]

Where you having corneal erosions? Did they get better?

[@kathleenquinn5140]

I was diagnosed with it in 1997, I had surgery to correct it

[@superarsenal009]

How long does it take for the pain to go away after surgery?

[@thorarthur66ddz]

Thanks for the informative videos. I had Lasik done and developed epithelial skin cells on one of my eyes. I then had a epithelial cell sweep done. Can you do a video on epithelial cells from Lasik procedure and treatment for them if it occurs? Thank you

[@flutefun999]

I just had the EXACT same thing happen this last week from Laxik. Didn't know I had EBMD before this. I sure know it now! OUCH! But had the debridement surgery yesterday and am on the mend!

[@Jack14432]

Thanks doctor I just got diagnosed with EBMD, it does worry me a lot. I am just wondering if it is manageable , how often can happen it the advance cases . I’m just going to get married it does worry me a lot. I don’t want to cause suffering to my partner because of my condition. I appreciate your assistance and advice.

[@tori8380]

I’ve got ebmd. It hurts.

[@Pintukumar22222]

Mam I want to talk you about my eye problem ebmd disease please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@zynthos9]

Is EBMD a contraindication for getting Lasik surgery? What about PRK?

[@Raider8784]

It is. PRK can be done and actually may have some therapeutic effects. Definitely get multiple opinions though before going through with it.

[@charliesierra2707]

Are topical steroids or Doxycycline any good to treat EMBD?

[@gabrielbarrantes6946]

Hey folks, got new glasses today and hopefully that will help with the pain I've having the last few months, wish me luck

[@EyeSchoolwithDrD]

[@Pintukumar22222]
