Treat Recurrent corneal erosion

The cornea is the same dome-shaped, which has a transparent and it is covering the eye. The recurrent corneal or RCE occurs when the outer layer of the cornea is loosened or laces. This is while the layer is usually attached to the cornea underneath it. If this disorder happens, severe pain in the eye is felt because the cornea is very sensitive to any cellular disorder. The pain we were talking about will be very severe during waking up. The reason for this is that at the time of sleep, the eyelids are closed and the reduction of oxygen causes small swelling in the outer layer of the cornea. This swelling can cause the layer to adhere to the lower eyelids. When the person wakes up, with the opening of the eyelids, this layer is dented and causes very severe pain. If you see these symptoms, you need to go to the doctor to find out the diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

The duration of treatment

There are many ways to treat this problem; in most cases, there is no need for surgery, and this option is only prescribed for very severe cases. Also, we should know that the surgical option is included in several different surgeries, and because of this, the duration of treatment cannot be generally applied. In order to know this, it is necessary to speak with the doctor and after the choice of treatment, the duration of the process is known.

As previously mentioned, there are several therapeutic options, and with this option, depending on the chosen one, there will also be specific services, but in general, it will be possible for the patient to have a general examination to choose the best option.

Therapeutic methods

Due to the recurrence of this disease, it is usually necessary for the patient to visit a doctor for several occasions. There are several treatments for this disease which we are briefly discussing here. Note that this list starts with initial treatments (for normal cases) and provides more effective treatments (for severe cases).

Primary treatments

Eye drops: this is the first treatment options which involve the use of tear droplets.

Antibiotics and painkillers: this way is for the people who are involved in acute attacks.

Pancreatic obstruction: The Pancreatic obstruction may be considered for patients who are involved in chronic RCE and only to use drops is not sufficient for them. This simple operation is just enough to be done once. The results may cause natural or artificial tears to have stayed in the eye.

Soft Bandage Contact Lens(BCL): patients who have not responded to eye drops or have large scratches can use soft contact lenses for two to eight weeks.

The combination therapy: an alternative to BCL, especially for people with myosin or rosacea gland disorders, is the combination of these methods.

The surgery

Anterior Stromal Puncture: this surgery is fast and outpatient, during which small cavities are created in the rapid production of membranes and inserts the outer layer of the cornea.

It should be noted that this surgery is not performed in many places, as it can lead to so many problems such as blurred vision and also the like hood of its inability to prevent future scratches.

Debridement keratectomy and superfamily: Although this surgery is relatively quick and outpatient, it is more intense than the previous one and is undergoing local anesthetic.

Phototherapeutic keratectomy and super facial: This is a solution for patients who have taken other options and have not received any results. In this operation, an Oxymer laser machine is used for cutting 5 to 10 micrometers from the Bowman layer.
