Two New Specialists for the Eye

I had an appointment with Dr. Heigle, who is my cornea specialist.  I have an epithelial mass under the cornea of that eye I see him for.  That is not growing so he just looks at it once a year.  Kinda like the thyroid nodules were before they started changing.

He looked at my eye, and looked some more.  Then called in another cornea specialist Dr. Tran and he looked and looked some more.

They talked back and forth and decided on another stronger course of Valtrex the antiviral, increasing the steroid to 6 times a day, and discontinuing one of the other drops.

Dr. Pearce, the previous specialist, had decreased the steroid because of the increased pressure in my eye.  But that is back to normal for the last three months.

I have an appointment with Dr. Tran on Friday.  He will check on the changes and hopefully see an improvement!

FIVE months.  Yep, five months I've been dealing with this.

Wish me luck!  And if you need me, I will be putting drops in my eye all the time now!
