I made an appointment with an ophthalmologist for a second opinion. He said I had a corneal abrasion (what was once the ulcer?). He prescribed me Vigamox 4 times a day. That evening the pain worsened - eye socket/headache type pain around my eye, excessive tearing, redness, swelling.

When I woke up the next morning, I had cloudy vision and couldn't see out of my left eye.
Glad to hear better. A corneal abrasion takes 2-3 months to completely heal and be as strong as normal. there is a nasty problem called "Recurrent corneal erosion" that comes from poor healing. It can often be prevented by using the artificial tears lubricants 2-4 times during the day for 6 weeks and using a lubricating GEL at bedtime. Regular artificial tears will not last 8 hours. These are all over the counter preparations.
I know the importance of wearing a mask to prevent the spread of covid 19 is very important, but about 2 days ago I got a corneal abrasion from accidentally poking my left eye from my mask when i was trying to remove it.Im still in pain right now, but I'm worried I can't shower yet or wash my face because I still have a scratched eye.

I told him that I am suffering from Photo phobia and it is very hard for me to roam around in a Sunny day ..
Is it possible for the pain from a corneal scratch not to show up until 3-4 days following the injury? I developed severe eye pain on a Tuesday and was diagnosed with a ? corneal scratch/herpes infection. Only cause of a corneal scratch I can determine was being shot in the eye with a water gun at full force by my grandson 3-4 days prior to awakening with eye pain.
My 9-month old son accidentally scratched my eye with his fingernail almost one week ago. I have (what I am assuming) is to be a corneal abrasion. The first couple days were awful -- very painful, significant eyelid swelling, extremely blurred vision, etc. But in previous abrasions I've had in the past, they had all healed within 48 to 72 hours. And although improved, this one is still not better.
Dear all,
The day before yesterday my wife had an incident at home which resulted in a corneal abrasion. We first went to the Emergency, then later to the eye doctor. The eye doctor says the abrasion is rather serious and detected the beginning of an infection. He prescribed Levofloxacin, Tobramycin and Bovine Fribroblast Growth Factor. The abrasion took place more than forty hours ago and so far we don't see any sensible improvement. We are worried about the infection more than anything.
It happen on friday at 2am when I removed my contact lense the left one went fine but the right eye burned and my eye started to tears. I had my lenses for 18h that day and my eyes were dry since I went to see a music show and a lot of people were smoking. I didn't find the lense, so I though the sensation was from the contact being lost in the back of my eyes. I added eye drop and it burned...I went to bed and the next day still painfull, eye sensitive to light.
After a corneal abrasion, it is possible that there is still some corneal edema (swelling) which may be affecting your vision. Also, there is a condition called recurrent erosion which can develop after a corneal abrasion with a sharp object. This will feel as if there is a repeat abrasion, usually upon awakening in the AM. Astigmatism means that there is a difference in corneal power depending upon the meridian (clock hour) of measurement.
Hagen,
Thank you for your service to our country, your scientific contributions and for the help you provide to people here - you are a great American Sir.
I am a 36 yr old male in good general health. No medications, no allergies or chronic disease, normal BP. I received a strike in my right eye the first sunday in Oct.
This was a penetrating globe injury with a full thickness corneal laceration and traumatic cataract.
He was very surprised as he heard the history is too old. He told me it is corneal abrasion and after giving some antibiotic eye ointment he padded that eye. Days after I opened the pad and the eye was OK.
But, again on 08th May problem relapsed. And I was sitting in front of an FRCS eye specialist by that evening. He gone through the history and came to the conclusion that, the upper layer of the eyeball was teared off from the ball and is not getting the fixing time.
I got a corneal abrasion 10 days ago. The pain was gone in about 3 days, I used the antibiotics for a week. I can focus on things with in about a foot of my face, but not far away and when I look at lights, they appear to be smeared. (actually as 3 dots connected by a smear)
I had gone to the ER for treatment since I knew it was bad right away. However my insurance is being funky and I don't know if they will cover an opthamoligist and money is tight.
Should I be worried yet?
Ok so after some research i think i got a corneal abrasion last week when i got a snowball thrown at my eye. At the time it was bad...red, extremelly sensitive, extreme pain with changes in light, tearing....then as time went on, these symptoms stopped, and what was left was a pink eye that is quite itchy and contains some puss.
Had a Corneal Abrasion on Monday and went to a doctor who prescribed polymyxin B sulfate and trimethoprim ophthalmoc solution drops, 3 days later eye is still blurry but pain is gone from eye, have tried clear eyes maximum redness relief to reduce redness which does not appear to work. What should i do?
I suffered a corneal abrasion on 2/12/2016. I was putting in refresh tear drops and got too close to my left eyeball and poked myself in the eye with the bottle tip. I was treated at the ER and followed up with an ophthalmologist. He said the abrasion has completely healed and my vision has returned to normal (what is was before the incident IMO). I can still feel a scratchy sensation but it is not really bad. It has now been 16 days after the incident. Will this scratchy sensation ever go away?
You probably have a corneal abrasion. Given the fact that you had your contacts in much too long, please see an ophthalmologist for evaluation and treatment right away. You especially want to be sure that the abrasion does not develop into a corneal ulcer.
If you do not have a regular ophthalmologist, find one in your area at www.aao.org.
after we submit his eyes for corneal scrapping,the doctor says it is a fungal infection of the cornea. the doctor gave Vigamox(from every 3 hours, now 3 times a day), amphothericin(from every hour to every 2 hours), nizoral(every hour 24 hours a day). That's really hard taking such eyedrops, As of now, he doing his check up (from every other day, now its everday already). I want to know how long will i take to cure that infection.
