Corneal Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye, usually caused by an infection; contact lens wear raises the risk. It causes pain, redness, light sensitivity and blurred vision, and it can damage sight, so it needs to be seen promptly by a doctor or eye specialist.
Medicine used to treat Corneal Ulcer
Treatment
Bacterial ulcers are treated with antibiotic eye drops, often given very frequently at first, such as ciprofloxacin (Ciloxan). The cause and the right drops are decided after an eye examination.
