Corneal Ulcer

General Information about Corneal Ulcer

Cornea is the window through which we see the world. A corneal ulcer is an open sore in the cornea, the clear and round front part of the eye through which light passes. Tissue loss because of inflammation produces an ulcer. The ulcer can either be located in the centre of the cornea and greatly affect the vision or be placed in the periphery and not affect it so much. There are atleast 25,000 cases of bacterial corneal ulcers in India every year. (National Society of eye care)
