Query About Corneal Scar
Doctor, I Had Conjunctivitis. I Was Treated by An Opthalmologist And After His Treatment, My Vision Was Blurry. For This, I Went To Another Opthalmologist And He Diagnosed Me With "L/E Stromal Keratitis". He Also Told Me That I Had Small White Spots in My Cornea And He Prescribed Me A Lubricant Eye Gel With Drops For Healing Keratitis. However, I Was Used The Gel Continuously For 5-7 Months And Then I Was Stop Using The Gel For 2 Months And Then I Continue Using The Gel Again. However, I Consulted The Ophthalmologist And He Said Me That The Spots Are Still Present And I Have To Use The Drops For More Time. He Wrote " L/E Stromal Opacity" in The Diagnosis Section. Now, My Queries is: 1) Is The Small White Spots Are Same As Corneal Scar (Scar Which is Formed Due To Untreated Keratitis) Due To Stromal Keratitis ? 2) Will The Small White Spots Reduce/Go by Using The Gel? 3) Will The Small White Spots Require Cornea Transplantation? Please Answer This, Doctor.

It needs few more questions, like can you see properly with the left eye many a times after conjunctivitis small dot like opacities are present which resolves with time and treatment. However if stromal keratitis resolves and it leaves a scar it will not go on its own. The question is how is ur vision and a proper examination would be needed to tell you whether u need a transplant or not. Most of the times vision improves with glass.
