Recurrent errosion: Recurrent corneal erosion. This is where the epithelium, skin layer, that was scratched (the abrasion) does not completely heal down and will recurrently and spontaneously slide or come up and cause pain, blurred vision. With time it will stick or heal back down. Treatment is lubricate with artificial tears during the day and then and ointment or gel at bedtime. Every night for at least month.
