Oh wow, keep us updated...

I had recurrent corneal erosion at least 5 times. After doctor prescribed me eye ointment, RCE didnt reoccur for last month. But I still suffer from double or tripple vision. Will this go away or I will need a surgery?

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

The surface of your eye may not be fully healed. Usually this settles with time.

Do you know anyone who doing it in Poland?

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

Thank you for your question, unfortunately not. A good place to start is to ask your local optometrist. They may be able to point you in the right direction.

Hey doc. I’m been dealing with this for 30. My doctor is telling me to get a transplant. Where are you located. I want to try this treatment.

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

We are based in Sydney Australia. Where are you based?

What's another name for Cornea Burring? I'm from the UK every I type it in it the treatment doesn't come up on the search engine.

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

Thank you for the question. Im not sure as always referred to it as Corneal Burring. Maybe try diamond polishing or diamond burr polishing? Let me know how you go.

[@HaisonthewayV2]

@@DrAnthonyMaloof What if the clinics don't offer diamond burr treatment? What would be other safer beneficial treatment options?

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

Ideally you need to keep looking to find someone that does burring, it has never failed over the many years i have performed it. Laser is an option but very expensive and a very high failure rate of about 20%. Keep looking for a burr treatment, it will give you the most beneficial outcome to what is a very nasty problem.

@@DrAnthonyMaloof Will cornea burring have any effect on my vision by increasing my prescription of my eyes?

[@MrBluedude33]

is this burring possible if i have had a PTK due to scaring on the cornea?? im getting the Recurrent Corneal Erosion symptoms after i had the PTK (had to have it do to remove the haziness due to scarring) i was told that it is alot better after the surgury, but i cant do another round of PTK as the skin is too thin to do so. would cross linking help in strengthening the skin by any chance??

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

Burring is definitely possible, but cross linking will be of little help.

Unpleasant looking -looks too rough for general subscribers, ( just saying).

[@DrAnthonyMaloof]

My patients ask to see all the time. Not for everyone though, you're right!

[@antonycoan9424]

Can corneal burring be carried out on a grafted cornea (DALK) ?

[@antonycoan9424]

Lo

Every case is individual and without proper consultation, it would be difficult to answer. Have your local specialist do an examination and they should be able to answer this specifically for your case.
