Regular use of a preservative-free lubricant during the day, before bedtime and first thing in the morning before opening your eyes is important for patients with recurrent corneal erosions.
Many patients have considered re-surfacing the eye in order to facilitate the corneal epithelium adhering to the basement membrane. This can either be performed manually using a blade or needle at the slit-lamp, alternatively many patients are now opting to use laser resurfacing methods (this is the same laser that is used to perform Epi-lasik).
You should discuss your findings with your attending ophthalmologist to determine what your suitable options are.
Best of luck!
