What is a recurrent corneal abrasion?
Recurrent corneal abrasion is a painful eye condition, although your eye heals after a few hours or days. It is caused by a scratch on the surface of the eye in the previous months. Although the first injury heals, the healing is not perfect and the ‘scratch’ returns over the next months for no apparent reason. This page describes what is happening, and how you can reduce the number of recurrences.
