A member asked:
Can you tell me about recurrent corneal erosions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Recurrent erosion: Usually occurs subsequent to ocular trauma or epithelial disease. New tissue healing over old does not bond like the original, so dry eye or rubbing can redetach the healed area, or reinjure the eye. Uusally treat with lubricants.
