Corneal Ulcer Treatment
Corneal Ulcer Treatment
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea — the clear, protective outer layer of the eye — often caused by infections, trauma, or misuse of contact lenses. It’s a serious condition that requires urgent treatment to prevent vision loss. At Dr. Mohit Khattri’s Eye Care Centre, we offer expert diagnosis and immediate care for corneal ulcers to safeguard your vision.
Common Causes
Corneal ulcers can result from various causes, including:
- Bacterial or viral eye infections
- Fungal infections (especially in agricultural workers)
- Improper contact lens hygiene
- Eye trauma or foreign body injuries
- Severe dry eye or eyelid disorders
Symptoms to Watch For
Early signs of corneal ulcers include redness, severe eye pain, tearing, blurred vision, light sensitivity, or a white/gray spot visible on the cornea. Delaying treatment can lead to permanent scarring or blindness.
Our Treatment Approach
We perform a detailed slit-lamp examination and corneal scraping (if needed) to identify the cause. Based on diagnosis, treatment may include:
- Intensive antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal eye drops
- Pain relief and anti-inflammatory medications
- Eye patching or bandage contact lens (in select cases)
- Corneal transplantation in advanced or non-healing cases
- Follow-up care to monitor healing and prevent complications
