What Is a Corneal Ulcer?
3. What Does a Corneal Ulcer Look Like?
Corneal ulcers can vary in size. Some may be too small to notice with the naked eye, while others may be large enough for people to notice when they look at you. Most corneal ulcers appear translucent, white opaque or gray.
Since some corneal ulcers are very small, they can be hard to recognize or detect. If you’re experiencing unexplained pain in your eye but you can’t see an obvious issue, it’s a good idea to visit your eye doctor. He or she has special tools that can illuminate and magnify the area and reveal even small corneal ulcers.
