Hi,

2 Weeks ago I was hit hard with a very large corneal ulcer. It was extremely painful and I lost 100% vision in my right eye. Last Friday I seemed to be making progress, according to my doc, as the ulcer has shrunk quite a bit (I could see the difference myself). I have been on 2 eyedrops, However, my eye started to get very red and irritated on the bottom (as the rest of the eye was clearing up), so my doc decided to change out one of the drops to another and reduce the number of times I use them per day. Now, unfortunately, I am noticing that the ulcer is growing in size again and my vision in my right eye seems to be going back to blurry. Has anyone here experienced this? I have my next appt. on Tues, but will call my doc on Monday. Unfortunately, this happened because of my contacts. : (

Thank you for sharing your experiences, or any input you may have.

Definitely do call on Monday.

I've no experience with a corneal ulcer, but I can share that during my treatment for branch vein occlusion (retinal issue), I received avastin injections into my eyeball, and ever since that first treatment, I've experienced pink eye many times. I'd never had pink eye before this treatment. I suspect that many of the treatments of the eye, which work specifically on an issue make us more susceptible to pink eye.
