Corneal Ulcer Management

A corneal ulcer is a serious eye condition caused by infection or injury to the cornea — the clear, protective front surface of the eye. It can lead to pain, redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and, if left untreated, even permanent vision loss. Because corneal ulcers progress quickly, timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent complications.

At Shetty Eye Care, Dr. Sarita Shetty provides expert corneal ulcer management, beginning with accurate diagnosis using advanced slit-lamp and imaging techniques. Treatment is tailored to the underlying cause — whether bacterial, fungal, viral, or traumatic — and may include targeted medications, specialized eye drops, and close follow-up. In severe cases, surgical intervention may be required. With early, expert care, the chances of preserving vision and restoring eye health are significantly improved.
