    I’m a pharmacist and I had a couple of questions about the EDTA you are using. Is this a sterile product or are you using a non-sterile research grade EDTA solution? Also, are you purchasing this as a 2% solution or is it being diluted at your facility with something isotonic to the eye (like BSS)?

  18. Hello, this site may be only for professionals? But may I ask about my Band Keratopathy please?

    Six months ago I had a cataract surgery. My surgeon also scraped a corneal keratopathy in the same eye (though it never bothered me before). Now my vision is blurred and have a scratching-like feeling and other discomforts everyday which forces me to keep this eye closed for relief. Before the surgery this eye only bothered me once in a while. The surgeon told me “It will never get better”.

    I’m in the process of obtaining a 2nd opinion so I’m trying to find a corneal specialist in NYC Manhattan who could deal with this case, and who hopefully carries my Emblem Health PPO too. 🙂

    Meantime, could a kind soul here tell me what usually happens in cases like mine? I’m SO hoping to find a cure for this failed treatment! Thanks so very much!

  19. those pictures and videos help me so much..thank you

  20. Sheila Laird says:

    I’ve had this procedure performed three times and the calcium keeps returning. Does anyone have any idea how I can prevent this from happening. It’s very discouraging and I’m reluctant to have procedure performed again. Does anyone know of any new procedures being performed to remove the calcium from the cornea. Thank you.

  21. Really useful…thank you.

  22. Teresa N Simons says:

    I just had this procedure done on my left eye, which has been traumatized, and also glaucoma, so I really hope that this works as the eye was quite painful, red and tearing. I’m 67 and I’m also blind in the eye so as far as vision goes no problem. great video explains the procedure well.

  23. Carolyn Dial says:

    i AM TO HAVE THIS PROCEDURE SOON. THANK YOU FOR THE INFORMAITON.
