What Is a Corneal Ulcer?
7. When Should I Call My Doctor for a Corneal Ulcer?
It is normal for the eyes to become irritated and red at times. If you have short-term eye irritation, you probably don’t need to seek medical attention. However, since corneal ulcers can lead to serious complications, it’s important to understand when you should call your doctor.
Make an appointment right away if you have severe pain in your eye, obvious discharge draining out of your eye, or a sudden change in vision. You should also visit your doctor if you have a history of eye exposure to flying particles or chemicals.
