Corneal Ulcer

A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye. It can occur due to infections, injury, or underlying medical conditions. Symptoms often include redness, pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to light. If left untreated, a corneal ulcer can lead to serious complications, including vision loss. Treatment typically involves antibiotic or antiviral medications, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Prompt medical attention is crucial for recovery and to protect eye health.
