Causes of corneal epithelium exfoliation

Corneal epithelial detachment is caused by eye trauma, metabolic disorders and glaucoma.

1. Eye trauma

Because the corneal epithelium is a transparent layer of cell tissue, eye parts if subjected to external factors are more likely to cause corneal epithelial damage, resulting in detachment.

2. metabolic disorders

patients wearing corneal contact lenses, if the use of the incorrect way of wearing, will cause corneal epithelial mechanical damage, may cause corneal metabolism to be affected, resulting in corneal epithelial detachment.

3. Glaucoma

When patients occur glaucoma, may cause intraocular pressure to increase, resulting in corneal edema, the formation of corneal epithelial detachment.
