A corneal ulcer (also known as keratitis) is an open sore on the cornea (the transparent surface of the eye). Corneal ulcers can result from an eye infection, severe dry eye, or other eye disorders.
How we treat Corneal Ulcers
Our doctors can diagnose and treat corneal ulcers and provide resources to prevent future ulcers. Corneal ulcers can badly damage your vision and even cause blindness if they are not treated. Treatment generally involves prescription eye drops and frequent follow-up visits. If necessary, Dr. Tavel will refer you to a corneal specialist.
