Hello doctor, I am a 66-year old male with good health. I wear contact lens, Air Optix day and night only on the left eye (PWE-10.75 BC 8.6 DIA 13.8). I am currently on Vigamox. I am getting pain in my eyes. As a result, I am wearing my glasses mostly and my contact lenses sparingly. The problem is I must have got a grain of sand or cement under my contact and had continued to work. When I pulled my contact, I noticed there was a tiny whitish dot on the cornea in the area of the iris. I can email you an image but I do not see a way to attach a jpg at this time. The tiny white dot has not gone away. It has been a week now. I have no vision problems. I need a consultation.
Hi. It seems to be a corneal ulcer. Absolutely discontinue wearing contacts (do not throw them, they will be needed for bacterial culture later on). Start Vigamox eye drop 12 times a day i. e every one hour (buy a fresh vial), Amikacin eye drop six times a day i. e every two hours, Homide eye drop at bedtime (will cause blurring of vision but relaxes pain). Use Refresh tears eye drop six times a day. At bedtime Occupol eye ointment inside the eye. Do not touch ur eye if not required. While bathing try to shut your eyes tightly. See an ophthalmologist in person asap.
