Corneal ulcer treatment

Corneal ulcer is a serious corneal disease, which may cause serious complications such as eye perforation and eye atrophy. Therefore, it must be treated early for this disease. First, detailed etiological examination is required, and symptomatic treatment is carried out according to the cause. For example, antibiotics are required for bacterial infections, antiviral drugs are required for viral infections, and antifungal drugs are required for fungal infections. Corneal ulcer healing can only be reduced by proper treatment. If corneal ulcer does not heal for a long time and has a tendency to worsen, surgery can be considered. For example, amniotic membrane covering, conjunctival autograft covering, etc., and keratoplasty may also be considered in severe cases. This needs to be decided according to the specific condition.
