Seeking Natural Remedy for Corneal Scar

Posted By Erika (Dallas, Texas) on 07/11/2015

I'm pretty sure I have had this scar in my right cornea for about three years but my optomotrist barely discovered it in October of last year. My eye would only hurt when I had my contacts on but I have gotten of of them completely last year. I don't think it is in my line of vision since I have been using the same glasses for almost three years and I see perfectly. I wanted to ask if anyone knows of an alternative remedy for the scar in my cornea. Someone mentioned raw honey and I tried it for about three months but I saw no results. I was thinking about trying castor oil next.

I have been told that I have irregular corneas (bumpy eyeballs). Anyway, I felt like I had something in my eye and dr said it's a corneal abrasion and to use muro ointmnet (petroleum jelly + saline, from what I can tell). No change after 2 months and he's like, well, keep using the muro. My eyes get dry and red/itchy. I've used castor oil in the past and all sorts of allergy drops. Any ideas?
