corneal ulcer- anyone had one?

[CatAmongThePigeons]

Ouch! I was dx with it yesterday, and I've had problems for a few days. I'm using antibiotics and I'm wondering how long it took to clear and if there's any lasting effects from it?

I've had two, and was in agony.

If you use the anti-biotics as instructed, you should be healing up in a few days but need to complete the course, get checked, and possibly finish up on a steroid drop.

My vision was unaffected, fortunately, but a recent corneal erosion seems to have left some effects.

I have really dry eyes, that's a problem.

I have one that needs debriding if it dries out too much and breaks down. Bloody painful.

Keep it well lubricated and treat infection quickly.
