Recurrent Corneal Erosion (RCE) is a distressing condition where the outermost layer of the cornea, the epithelium, repeatedly breaks down, causing significant pain, redness, and discomfort. It can occur spontaneously but is often linked to previous corneal injuries, dry eye syndrome, or corneal dystrophies. Patients frequently experience symptoms upon waking up, as the eyelid sticks to the cornea and disrupts the healing epithelium.
