I easily get anxious and obsessed. my concern is that if a person gets eye inflammation following trauma , then does self healing process occurs or rather devastating consequences are observed. I visited doctor pretty late after a month of trauma.my slit lamp and dilated eye exam is normal. I was responded in the previous query by Dr. Priyanka Ahuja to not worry in case eye exam is normal but to get pressure check per month for 4 months. I know that inflammatory cells can clog drainage increasing pressure, but I don't have active inflammation presently. So why pressure concerns now? Is it related to angle recession which can raise pressure months after? . Upon examination, my doctor did not say if anything is wrong with angles or drainage network. And I still want to know what untreated inflammation usually leads to , or if it rather self heals in many cases. I did not have hyphema for sure. But I had pain and redness with some mild blurring for many days. Request you to address this.
