Cornea's Wound Healing
Doctor, I Had Keratoconjunctivitis. Due To This, Small White Spots Appeared in My Cornea. Doctor Prescribed Me To Use A Lubricant Eye Gel Called "Hylo Gel" And I Have Used It Approximately For 7-10 Months And After This, My Doctor Told Me That Many Spots Are Faint Now. He Told Me To Continue The Drop And Also Told Me That The Spots Will Go Away But It Will Take Time. Doctor Wrote It As "L/E Stromal Opacity" in Diagnosis Section. I Have Also Take A Second Opinion But The Second Doctor Also Told Me The Same Thing And He Also Diagnosed Me With The Same "L/E Stromal Opacity". Now, I Have Some Query About This Spots.
1) Will The Spots Be Healed/Fainted/Disappeared by WOUND HEALING Process?
2) Doctor Told Me That Many Of The Spots Are Faint Now. Is It A Good Sign?
3) Does SCAR TISSUE FORMATION in Cornea (Within Healing/After Healing Time Of A Disease/Problem) Only Happen When The Disease/Problem Be Heal in WOUND HEALING Process Only?
Please Ans, Doc!!!

Tho sub epithelial or superficial storms scarring is not uncommon after viral conjunctivitis.
The scarring will slowly fade away in time or even if they do not completely fade away they won’t interfere with your vision.
You must continue to use those lubricant drops that you have been prescribed for a year or so if not longer
I hope it answers your question
