Corneal Ulcer (Keratitis)Treatment

Understanding Corneal Ulcers

A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the eye's clear front surface, usually resulting from infection, injury, or prolonged contact lens misuse.

Warning Signs to Act On

Redness, pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision can develop quickly, and prompt treatment is essential to prevent scarring or vision loss.

Targeted, Rapid Treatment

Our specialists identify the underlying cause through detailed examination and begin focused antimicrobial or supportive therapy to heal the cornea effectively.

Seeking Care Quickly

Because corneal ulcers can progress rapidly, we recommend same-day evaluation for any sudden eye redness or pain, particularly for contact lens wearers.

Our Diagnostic Approach

Corneal scraping and culture testing help identify the specific organism responsible, allowing treatment to be matched precisely to the underlying infection.
