Acute corneal erosion is treated with cycloplegic eye drops, antibiotic ointment and pressure patch. Usually the patch remains for 24 hours. Once healing is complete, treatment may continue using lubricating and hypertonic sodium chloride ointments. Therapy usually last between 6-8 weeks. In severe cases bandage contact lenses and epithelial scraping may be necessary.
Stromal puncture allows better adhesion of the epithelium.
Good if the above treatment options are followed. The affected area is susceptible to infection. Stromal puncture may be used for reoccurring cases of corneal erosion. Dystrophies of the cornea are not associated with previous infectious, systemic or inflammatory disease. There may be some discomfort.
