Dr. O says it's possible recurrent corneal erosion

That was for the lightning bolt of pain I get in my tear ducts. Can anyone tell me if my right eye socket feeling like raw hamburger meat when I cough too hard is yet another possible manifestation of this? I feel as if I must push on the eye to hold it in when I cough. Also, I get so dizzy I nearly lose consciousness, and continence is a not happening thing. It is very embarassing. Feels sometimes like I'm on my way out. BTW, Thank you, Dr. O for your timely response to my first question.

I have not heard this associated with coughing.  You need to see an EyeMD and get treatment.   It usually takes three months of treatment with Muros ointment  and drops and careful opening of your eyes in the morning after carefully moving your eyelids before opening them.

I had the lightning affect for the first time this morning and it was toward the outside of my eye. Directly afterwards, I saw a small white streak of bright light. This is a new one. Will do, Dr. O. I will never forget your kindness in taking time to answer my questions.
