Eye Pain
Eye pain is a very noticeable symptom of a corneal ulcer. An eye ulcer may cause pain while opening or closing the eye and during blinking. Pain may be constant, especially before treatment, and may range from mild to severe.3‘Home.’ Cincinnati Eye Corneal Ulcer Comments, www.cincinnatieye.com/corneal-diseases/corneal-ulcer/
It's sometimes described as a burning sensation or as a sharp pain that occurs sporadically. Wash around the eye gently, and try to avoid touching or aggravating the eye to minimize pain.3‘Home.’ Cincinnati Eye Corneal Ulcer Comments, www.cincinnatieye.com/corneal-diseases/corneal-ulcer/
