Corneal abrasion with bandage contact lens how will cornea heal?

Fine: Years ago the treatment for an abrasion was a pressure patch. But in recent years ophthalmologists have switched from patching to using a bandage contact lens with antibiotic and possibly a mild steroid to decrease the inflammation. Continue your care with the same ophthalmologist.

Quick: Cornea abrasions heal quickly, bandage contacts are used to aid healing and improve comfort.
