A member asked:
What are the symptoms for corneal erosion caused by dry eyes ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Generally there is irritation and redness. There will be paradoxically intermittent tear overflow. Generally the vision is not disturbed. Erosion will sometimes also cause light sensitivity. Of course, the symptoms will be diminished by the use of lubricating eye drops.
