@joziez of course. Please let me know how I can help. In my research for my issue I have read where people have experienced this bullous keratopathy as a side effect after cataract surgery. Not sure why. Bullous Keratopathy has the same blister issues as what you have been diagnosed with. I have been trying many different things to lesson the pain when this happens and really the only think I have found that helps a little is a combination of advil and tylenol taken at the same time and going in the shower and taking a hot washcloth and holding it over my eye for a count of 10 for like 10 different times. LOL. I take it one day at a time and I think that is the best thing to do is get another opinion. That is why I went from my long time doctor to getting a referral to UF. Honestly I was given an appt 5 months later and have tried to get into other cornea specialist and run into the same issue of having to wait months so I am sticking with the University doctor. I hope you can get in soon and hope you have many years to go before experiencing this. Wish I enjoyed them more lol. Make sure you keep us updated as I would be curious to know what the other doctor says. I wish these doctors would tell you all the issues you are going to have before you finding out when it happens 🙂
