Mooren's Ulcer

Mooren's Ulcer is a rare, painful condition that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. It involves the gradual destruction of corneal tissue, often linked to an abnormal immune response, where the body's defenses attack its own cells. This can occur in individuals with or without other underlying diseases. The ulcer can lead to vision loss if not treated promptly. Management typically includes medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response, while severe cases may require surgical intervention. It is important for individuals experiencing eye pain or vision changes to seek medical attention.
