Cornea scar after transplant
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hi
Im looking for some advice and for someone who may have had similar problems. I suffered from a corneal abrasion five years ago (sons nail!) and over the last three ish months have been having brief but definately eye pains on waking. Last week I woke up and knew I had an abrasion again with no obvious cause this time. I’ve been seeing the optometrist for a week who kept reassuring me the really blurry vision would clear up but eight days later it’s just as bad despite the eye itself looking better. He looked yesterday and there’s a scar formed straight across the front of the eye which is what I’m looking through. He was very pessimistic that anything can be done for this except possibly a corneal transplant!!! But said this wouldn’t be done as the other eye is fine.
when I have the bad eye closed my vision is perfect but with both open the world is blurry again. I feel nauseous, can’t drive and am just terrified this is what I now have to deal with. Has anyone else out there had this and had an improvement?? I’ve had an urgent referral to ophthalmologist which is the day after tomorrow, I’m just so afraid.
thanks Rachel

If the original abrasion was not peeled off to heal it properly it can cause your symptoms. They may be able to remove the old tissue to let it heal. This will be painful and feel like the original corneal abrasion. Good Luck!
