Corneal Ulcer Questions

Hello Mr. lybrate-user!
from your description it seems like you have an epithelial defect over your cornea. Due to blunt trauma to the eye especially forceful one (like an air hose pressure) the outermost superficial layer (epithelium) of the black part of eye (cornea) gets eroded, and since cornea is instrumental in vision, that is why you have blurry vision right now. The epithelium will slowly heal by bodyã¢â€â™s natural mechanism, but might leave a slight scar later on depending upon its...more

Hello. Allergy in the eyes these days has become very common in our routine clinics, especially in summers. Allergy is a general term, but for eyes per se there are different types of allergic disorders like akc, vkc etc. The treatment will differ for every individual and a detailed assessment of each eye is crucial in deciding treatment plan. Generally a cocktail of drops is prescribed as each one addresses a different mechanism. Allergy in general cannot be cured, but can only be controlled. C...more

If u have immediately washed it then there is no problem but prophylactically an antibiotic can be added.

Hello. Any developing corneal ulcer is treated initially with antibiotics/anti fungal/anti viral medicines (drops or oral tablets) depending on the infection type. If not very severe, mostly it gets controlled by medicines alone, but if not responding to drops even after 2 weeks, may need a corneal transplant surgery (just to control the infection. Even with medical therapy, it may leave a scar. If the scar is very large and in the centre of eyesight obstructing vision to a very large extent, th...more

Hello. Let me first assure you that it is a very common situation and occurs in a lot of patients we see in routine clinics.

Is there burning sensation? I good quality photograph of the eye will be a lot helpful to prescribe you eye drops for the same. You can reach me out anytime for consultation so that we...more

Hello. Let me first assure you that there isn’t much to worry as many of my patients have had similar problems and have recovered very well after treatment. But before giving you any kind of eye drop, an ophthalmologist would first like to rule out infection, as the treatment will be totally different in that case. A picture of your eyes will be a great help for the same. Covid associated eye problems are mostly mild only and subside very well with the right treatment. Would like to know few t...more

Hello. Any kind of corneal trauma will end in scar of variable depth/ size/ intensity depending upon various factors. After the scar is healed chances of getting converted into an ulcer on its own are very very slim. Don’t get carried away my what google or a non-professional person must be telling you. Yes it can get activated again depending on many risk factors which you have to avoid. Also the extent and location of the scar will determine how much will the vision get affected. You can con...more

I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you.
Styes are caused by a bacterial infection in an oil gland or hair follicle on your eyelid. These glands and follicles can get clogged with dead skin cells and other debris. Sometimes, bacteria get trapped inside and cause an infection. This results in a swollen, painful lump called a stye.
Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.

This will take time. Minimum of 3-4 weeks. Don't panic. Avoid visiting hospital unless you experience any diminished vision.
