Coming soonA corneal ulcer is an ocular condition characterized by an epithelial defect of the cornea accompanied by underlying stromal inflammation, necrosis, or tissue excavation.
Primarily affecting contact lens wearers, individuals with ocular trauma, and patients with underlying ocular surface disease or impaired corneal sensation, it is commonly triggered by infectious pathogens—including bacteria, fungi, viruses, or parasites—or by noninfectious inflammatory and neurotrophic processes.
Clinically, it presents with ocular pain, photophobia, conjunctival injection, decreased visual acuity, and visible stromal infiltrates with fluorescein uptake.
Without prompt intervention, the ulceration can progress to corneal thinning, stromal melting, descemetocele formation, and globe perforation, leading to permanent vision loss.
