A member asked:

Doc told there is a spot on cornea which will go away in 2 weeks.but i am scared as there is no improvement for 5 days now.prescribed herpes ointment.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cornea: This requires careful follow-up by an ophthalmologist and if progress isn't being made, I believe in consulting a cornea specialist at least for a second opinion. Corneal damage can lead to glaucoma as well as visual difficulties.
