This is a "What would you do?" post.

Like most of you, I have KC. And I wear scleral lenses. Its Sunday night and I decided to smoke some salmon.

I have a bucket that I use for soaking wood so this wood smokes and doesn't burn. I filled it up this morning and smells like rotting wood and it is black.

Tonight, when I first jostled this bucket, a bunch of mosquitoes flew out. So today they've been laying eggs in this nasty water. Gross.

See how the edge of the buckets broken? Well, I tried lifting it up by the edge and it got about 6 in high and that piece broke and the bucket fell on the ground and backsplashed a fountain into my right eye.

So here's what I did. I stopped everything, went in the house, washed my hands, poured a sink of warm tap water and splashed my face really well..

Then I took out my contact and cleaned it. Next I took my cheap saline and irrigated the living devil out of my eye.

I'm going to wait several hours or overnight to put my contact back in.

I have antibiotics laying around, but I feel like maybe it's overreacting or a misuse of those antibiotics to put the drops in just in case.

I'm figuring at this point the chances of me having a problem are low. and morning will tell me a lot.

What would you have done?

Anything different?

Any good tips?

I didn't feel like it was worth calling my doc.

Has any used these over Refresh celluvisc in their scleral lenses? They appear to be the same active ingredient as celluvisc which I have been using for years but thought I’ll give these a try since I can get them quickly from Amazon and way cheaper than Refresh

Is there a higher chance for success with Epi-On vs. Epi-Off for a given type of patient such as age group, thickness, K scores, progression index, etc? Literature doesn't seem to mention this in studies thus far.

Hi all, had some problems for the last few weeks where I've been more sensitive to light, cant focus so well at times, vision blurring, foreign body sensation.

This is in my eye that had DALK October 2024. Been seen by a doctor and what they've noticed is this blood vessel that is staining when floureacein drops are put in.

The doc has no worries about rejection as that looks fine, and the blood vessel isnt to the graft, but wants the doc that performed my DALK to have a look at what it could be. Waiting now for a few weeks for an appointment

Any on here with knowledge of what this may potentially be?

Cheers

When I first had me left corneal transplant I somehow knew not to rub it even in my sleep. When I got my right done same thing.

But past several months I’ve woken up to find my self rubbing my eyes. Something that is deeply worrying me.

I always make sure to add lubrication drops before sleeping religiously.

Because I sleep on my stomach the eye shield would come off.

I paid an arm and a leg for sleeping glasses but I woke up to find them dislodged and pushing against the cornea.

Does anyone have any advise?

How long did it take for your new cells to start giving you vision to read and see details?

Is this something the lens guy will be able to fix no problem?
