What Is an Eye Ulcer?
10. How Long Does an Eye Ulcer Take To Heal?
Though serious, an ulcer that has been treated will not take too long to heal. Depending on the specific nature of the infection, experts state that the ulcer will be healed somewhere between two and three weeks as long as proper methods are followed. The sooner the ulcer is diagnosed the better, as waiting too long can cause more serious and irreversible damage to a person’s vision. In some severe cases, slight vision reduction is normal after the ulcer has fully healed. Your doctor will discuss this with you when offering treatment options.
An eye ulcer might be a very small tear on the surface of your eye, but it is a big problem for your overall health and wellness. Take the right precautionary measures to reduce the odds and be sure to visit a doctor at the first sign of an eye infection.
