Regular Proparacaine Use

So lately I've been getting dilated ~ 4 times a week to practice BIO, and we'll be starting to learn gonio next semester, the proparacacaine definitely makes the tropicamide feel a little better, but I was just curious since proparacaine can cause you to lose your epithelium if that's fairly common with regular use, or how often you'd actually have to use it for that to happen.

Thanks

Four times a week aint enough...you need to put it in 5-6 times a day for a couple days. If that was the case every person who had a corneal ulcer that was watched every day would be getting worse because of the numbing drops.
