Corneal Erosion

Corneal erosion is a condition where the outer layer of the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes damaged or loses its protective layer. This can happen due to injury, irritation, or underlying eye diseases. Symptoms often include pain, redness, tearing, and sensitivity to light. The damaged cornea may heal on its own, but sometimes it requires treatment, such as medicated eye drops or protective contacts. Proper care is essential, as repeated erosions can lead to more serious issues with vision if not managed effectively. Regular eye check-ups can help prevent and address this condition.
