Diagnosed With Corneal Abrasion, Disorder With Top Layer Of Eye. Wear RGP Lenses. Cause And Remedy?

I went to my ophthalmologist a few weeks ago for a corneal abrasion and he mentioned something to me about a disorder with the top layer of skin on the eye is loose due to a weak bond with the next layer. I can t remember what the name of it was. He said that he thinks I might have it because I get abrasions on my cornea so frequently. I wear RGP lenses to treat degenerative myopia but I take very good care of them and never sleep in them.
