Recurrent Cornealerosion Syndrome (RCES)

RCES is a common condition affecting all age groups. It is usually predisposed by minor trivial trauma which may destabilise corneal epithelial adhesion, in turn resulting in a weak spot on the corneal surface which is prone to break down and infection. Patients typically present with pain in the early morning, along with watering and aversion to bright light. The condition, if detected early, can be easily managed by a simple 5 minute procedure which involves polishing the cornea using a diamond coated burr mounted on a precise micro drill followed by application of a bandage contact lens. Darshan eye care offers this procedure on an out patient basis, allowing for quick and hassle free recovery.
