Dear Paulina2515,

I would recommend that you speak with your eyeMD if possible to express your concerns about your care and the recommendations.  If you still do not feel comfortable, seek a second opinion of a corneal specialist.

I apoligize but I know nothing about the hospitals or physicians in your area.  You have universal health insurance, make an appointment with one of the ophthalmolgists on your local plan to at least get an honest second opinion.
