Corneal Ulcers

Corneal ulcers are painful sores on the cornea, the clear front layer of the eye. They can occur due to infections, injuries, or conditions that affect the eye's surface. Symptoms often include redness, blurred vision, excessive tearing, and a persistent sensation of something in the eye. If untreated, these ulcers can lead to serious complications, including vision loss. Treatment typically involves antibiotic or antifungal eye drops, and in severe cases, surgery may be necessary. Prompt medical attention is important to ensure proper healing and to prevent further damage to the eye.
