Doctor DanB :

Hello and thanks for your question. Are you available to chat?

Doctor DanB :

It sounds like likely has some inflammation in the eye and most specifically, in the cornea, which may be caused by high eye pressures. I do think it would be important to have her seen by an ophthalmologist as soon as you can to prevent further vision damage. Does that make sense?
