9. Corneal Ulcer
A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the eye that may develop due to injury, dry eyes, eyelid dysfunction, infections or contact lens use. Symptoms may involve blurred vision, pus or discharge, redness, swollen eyelids and severe eye pain.
Medications administered topically or via injection treat corneal ulcers, along with oral pain medications to address discomfort. If scarring occurs, a corneal transplant may be necessary to restore vision.17Turbert, David. ‘What Is a Corneal Ulcer (Keratitis)?’ American Academy of Ophthalmology, 1 Apr. 2021, www.aao.org/eye-health/diseases/corneal-ulcer.
