Corneal Ulcer
How can we diagnose Corneal Ulcer ?

Text

The doctor will be able to detect if you have an ulcer by using a special eye microscope, known as the slit lamp. He or she will put an eyedrop containing the dye fluorescein to make the ulcer easier to see. If the doctor thinks that an infection is responsible for the ulcer, he or she may then get samples of the ulcer (biopsy) to send to the laboratory for identification. Blood tests to check for inflammatory disorders may also be indicated.
