Scraping Corneal Scar Tissue?
I have scarring on my cornea that's causing increasing astigmatism and decreasing vision. A cornea specialist is treating my extreme dry eye condition for 3 weeks; although, I didn't quite understand the connection between the scar tissue and dry eye. The doctor is suggesting that he will likely want to scrape the scar tissue, but he also indicated that this is a procedure that results in a good deal of post-procedure pain. What is the connection between dry eye and corneal scar tissue? Is the scraping process a legitimate way to go? Thank you for your opinion and information.
I would like to know about this scraing also. I have map dot fingerprint on my cornea and Dr thinks scraping would help with my blurred vision in that eye. He did say their is pain involve, but how much pain is their. It sounds like an awful procedure. I have some scarring on my cornea. Thank you
