Question
At my last visit to my eye doctor, he referred me to a cornea specialist, the optometrist said I had bubbles under my cornea. Many years ago I had RK surgery, this was also mentioned at the exam. What would bubbles under the cornea mean?
Answer
It probably means there are fluid filled cysts on the back surface of your cornea. They are probably from the deep RK incisions. Unless the clarity or health of the cornea is threatened, there may be nothing to do or worry about. So get the opinion from the corneal specialist and they will inform you about anything important to know.
Best of luck,
