What Is a Corneal Ulcer?
9. How Can I Prevent a Corneal Ulcer?
Ulcers in the cornea may not always be preventable. However, there are things you can do to reduce your chances of getting them. One of the most effective ways to prevent corneal ulcers is to wear eye protection anytime you’re around small, flying particles. You should also use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist if you have dry eyes.
Contact wearers should take their lenses out every evening and clean them with solution. Whenever possible, avoid sleeping with contacts in. You should also wash your hands thoroughly before handling lenses.
