What Is an Eye Ulcer?
6. How Is an Eye Ulcer Diagnosed?
Whether you’re dealing with an infection or a full ulcer, it is vital that you respond to this issue as soon as you notice it has persisted. Instead of going to a primary care physician, it is a better decision to go directly to an eye doctor. This professional can conduct an eye exam to determine whether or not you are dealing with an ulcer. The most common way this is diagnosed is with an orange eye stain that makes the ulcer more pronounced and helps the doctor see exactly what it is you’re dealing with.
As with any visit to an eye doctor, it is highly advised that you travel with another person. You will likely not be able to drive after this type of exam and it is beneficial to have a friend or relative bring you back and forth.
