Suggest Treatment For Eye Injury
1 year ago i was involved in a welding incodent that injured my eyes... the injury was caused by a cuting torch. the flame never touched my eyes but did do enough damage to them. i have been to an opthomologist who said that my eyes were fine but didnt know why they were light sensitive. what do u think is wrong with them?

Hello
Welcome to Health care magic
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having sensitivity to light following exposure to a welding arc.
This symptom indicates probable healing problem of the corneal epithelium in the form of recurrent corneal abrasion.
The treatment of this condition is by use of artificial tears and lubricating agents.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination for confirmation of diagnosis and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
With regards
