A member asked:
Do you suffer from recurrent corneal erosions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sort of: This is a condition following corneal abrasion in which the surface of the cornea (the epithelium) has defective adhesion and lifts up a little reproducing the symptoms or rarely actually recreating the abrasion. It is very uncomfortable so those who have it 'suffer' to some degree. There is fairly effective control and treatment but it can be a persistent problem.
