I suffer from Recurrent Corneal Erosion, a disease in which the outer layer of the cornea sloughs off at random. Normally the erosions are tiny and only painful for a few minutes, but this time it was much worse. Unfortunately, there's no real cure for R.C.E. It can last for years or go away on its own. The contact lens the doctor put in should help things grow back properly.
My eye is feeling better already. The pain is gone, and there's just a bit of irritation (from the contact lens). They'll probably leave the lens in for a month or so.
