What Is an Eye Ulcer?
5. What Are the Symptoms of an Eye Ulcer?
Though you are likely to notice the infection before the ulcer, there are cases where the infection is not as severe. In these circumstances, it can be useful to be familiar with the signs and symptoms of an ulcer on the eye. Outside of the standard irritation, coloration, and discharge, the eye is also likely to appear inflamed or swollen when an ulcer is present. An ulcer also makes a person very sensitive to light and might cause the sensation that there is something in the eye when there is no foreign element present.
Blurred vision is also very common, with the eyes feeling sore while trying too hard to focus on a particular object. Many people will also experience white spots on the cornea where the ulcer itself has been developing.
