What Is a Corneal Ulcer?
6. What Complications Can Develop from a Corneal Ulcer?
Like most other conditions, there are complications that can arise from untreated corneal ulcers. Some of these include corneal perforation, stromal necrosis, corneal scarring, glaucoma, and blindness. Potential complications from corneal ulcers may be worse in patients who have autoimmune diseases.
Whether you have an autoimmune disease or not, for the sake of your eye health and vision, you should call your ophthalmologist immediately if you have symptoms of a corneal ulcer. Doing so could prevent you from developing serious complications.
