Hello
Welcome to health care magic.
I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you have undergone surgery for retinal detachment and vitreous hemorrhage following which you have developed recurrent corneal ulcers.
The ulcers are not healing because of raised intraocular pressure. Hence you require to reduce the increased intraocular pressure by use of anti glaucoma drugs.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
