Hi! I've been pushing my luck, by snow skiing, but ... too much fun! Last evening, though, after removal of my left Boston Scleral Lens, I felt the vaguely familiar awful pain of Superior Epithelial Arcuate lesions. I'd bet $100 that's exactly what it is. Can't be sure what caused it. I might have pushed my goggles into my lower lids, accidentally, or any number of things, but ... it feels textbook. My question: since my understanding of SEAL tend to indicate a mechanical issue, possibly concerning lens edge, what would seem to be the best course of action: a) try to get the lens back in, and -- if the insertion is normal and painless -- allow the (RGP, saline-filled) lens to protect the cornea, and speed healing. If symptoms don't resolve in X days, get to an eye doctor? b) leave the lenses out for a day, use lubricating drops throughout the day, and see how things are, tomorrow (hope not. I'm /really/ limited without these lenses....)? c) go get checked out ASAP. SEAL MAY be minor, self-limiting, and fairly benign, but -- depending on severity -- it can lead to serious complications. Antibiotic drops may be appropriate? d) none of the above Thoughts?? Thanks much, Neil
