Title: Numb eye after one year
Post by: stefaniesada on May 11, 2019, 01:55:10 pm
Hi,  I had retrosigmoid surgery June 2018, radiation having failed.  (My tumor was 1.9 cm when I had radiation and close to 3.0 cm when I had surgery.)  Almost 1 year out, my eye on the tumor side still feels weird, numb all the time with bursts of pain.  I put eye drops in several times a day at the recommendation of my optometrist, which feels tingly and strange, but haven't used contacts since the surgery because I am worried that I can't feel sensations in my eye and will end up scratching my cornea.  Has anyone else gone through this?  Any tips?  Thanks!
