Comments on: Recurrent Corneal Erosion http://guthrieeyecare.com/icare/recurrent-corneal-erosion/ Eye and Vision Condition Education from Dr's Doug & Lisa Cook Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:58:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 By: Francesca http://guthrieeyecare.com/icare/recurrent-corneal-erosion/comment-page-1/#comment-41 Francesca Sat, 19 Sep 2009 16:54:20 +0000 http://guthrieeyecare.com/icare/?p=284#comment-41 Thank you for the most empathetic description I've read. I'm still suffering three years after my initial injury...which was treated with agressive antibiotics every 30 minutes for 48 hours. I am post menapausal and the incidents occur exclusively between 2-6 am. I had episodes within an hour of getting up and applying ointment at 2 am, with a tear-duct blocker installed, and my worst attack (5 day recovery) was with the contact patch. I'm now trying nightly applications of sesame oil on the lid, 0mega-3 supplements, increased water consumption, a humidifyer and a EyeEco patch. My theory is to enhance lipid in my lid and retain moisture at night. I'd love to learn what HAS worked for other sufferers. I understand success rates for surgeries are very low and would love to see those data. Thank you for the most empathetic description I’ve read.
