Talk:Corneal ulcer

message: Is this page about a condition that afflicts humans or dogs?  It mentions humas briefly at the beginning, but the rest of the article seems to be vetinary in nature.  --Corinthian 00:31, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Corneal ulcers affect humans, dogs, and other animals. A veterinarian was largely responsible for the creation of this article. -AED 00:35, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Abrasions and ulcers are two different things. Both can affect humans and non-human species. -AED 04:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Abrasion implies physical or mechanical disruption of the epithelium, whereas ulcer implies an inflammatory cause. I would suggest expanding both articles to reflect that each occurs in human and veterinary medicine. AED 00:26, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Human or Animal Medical Condition? 

message: This is not a synonym for recurrent corneal abrasion or erosion, which is what the author (capably) describes.  Because infectious corneal ulcers have a different etiology and are so treated from corneal erosions, this material should be moved out of the ulcer topic.Bticho 18:43, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Refractory corneal ulcers 

message: I think I'm going to be bold and rename this article Corneal ulcers in animals.  There is still very little about the human aspect of the condition except for the infobox and a bit about culturing.  For now corneal ulcer can redirect here, until someone wants to write an article about the human disease.  I know we discussed this earlier and it was decided to keep corneal ulcer and corneal abrasion and their respective human and veterinary information separate, but in veterinary medicine the term corneal ulcer is used whether or not the etiology is inflammatory or traumatic.  I don't know who started that trend, but that's the way it is.  My concern is that this article is going to confuse anyone looking for information on the human condition.  I'll wait a few days for discussion before moving it.  --Joelmills 00:58, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Renaming 

message: Thanks for letting me know at the WP:Eye talk pages for the Wikiproject on Ophthalmology. I have removed information concerning the animals, which is appropriately contained in Corneal ulcers in animals. I will try to find some pictures for the article. I need some help with the creation of infobox and referencing, along with general proofreading for grammatical errors thay may have inadvertently crept in. Anybody?!

thread_title:  Article creation relevant to humans 

message: While I consider the information contained on this page to be of a good quality, and with a good reasoning detail, I am not aware of where it has been obtained from. The detail is highly specific, possibly supplied from a medical consultant or surgeon. Can the source be ascertained, with reference to a medical journal or publication ?

replies: text: Well, I just realized that this article contains a lot of what I wrote originally under the title Corneal ulcer and then moved to Corneal ulcers in animals (since it was about corneal ulcers in animals, see above discussion).  It looks like when this article was recreated, a lot of what I wrote was added back in, sans citations.  That's why refractory corneal ulcers are also referred to as Boxer ulcers (as in Boxer (dog)).  So citations are available via Corneal ulcers in animals, but they are all veterinary in nature.  I would have to doubt that a lot of that info applies to humans.  --Joelmills 02:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the information has been supplied by me, an Eye Surgeon - it is accurate and has got significant clinical details. Referencing is, I believe, AED's forte! He is nowhere to be seen lately.... Let me see if this can posted onto WP:Eye for some referencing expert to help out with.... Cheers! EyeMD T|C 14:25, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Really? Corneal ulcers are common specifically within the state of Florida? That sounds odd. Now, I'm perfectly willing to believe that's true, but then either there is some kind of anecdote that makes this possible and it should be mentioned (e.g. "in Florida where the microscopic Florida Keys eye flea is endemic") or some kind of noted phenomenon that should be cited (e.g. medical studies).

thread_title:  Florida? 

message: One line in the article states: "Corneal ulcers are a common human eye disease. They are caused by trauma, particularly with vegetable matter". What is it that is so special about vegetable matter that causes corneal ulceration? Does it mean vegetation?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.229.39.208 (talk) 23:45, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
