Infection / Ulcer Management
What is corneal Infection / Ulcer Management?
Corneal infection/ulcer management is the process of diagnosing and treating infections or ulcers that affect the cornea, the clear, protective layer at the front of the eye. The management typically involves:
- Diagnosis: Identifying the cause of the infection or ulcer, which could be bacterial, viral, fungal, or due to other factors.
- Antimicrobial Treatment: Administering appropriate antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals to target the specific pathogen.
- Anti-inflammatory Therapy: Using anti-inflammatory medications to reduce pain, swelling, and redness.
- Supportive Care: Implementing measures to support healing, such as using artificial tears or protective contact lenses.
- Monitoring: Regular follow-up to assess the effectiveness of treatment, make adjustments, and prevent complications.
Effective management is crucial to restore corneal health, prevent vision loss, and avoid potential complications.
Symptoms/Conditions
Corneal infection/ulcer management involves addressing symptoms and conditions associated with corneal infections or ulcers. Symptoms include persistent redness, severe eye pain, blurred vision, discharge from the eye, increased sensitivity to light, swelling of the eyelids or conjunctiva, and a foreign body sensation. The conditions requiring management can range from bacterial keratitis, which causes corneal ulcers due to bacterial infection, to viral keratitis from viruses like herpes simplex, fungal keratitis from fungal organisms, and Acanthamoeba keratitis linked to improper contact lens use. Effective management requires diagnosing the specific cause and providing targeted treatment to alleviate symptoms and promote corneal healing.
Corneal ulcer symptoms vary widely. The most common ones include:
- Red or bloodshot eye
- Teary or watery eye (epiphora)
- Eye pain (can vary from mild discomfort or aching to severe
pain). - Feeling like something’s stuck in your eye, like a hair or dust
(foreign object sensation) - Light sensitivity (photophobia)
- Blurred vision
- Inflamed or swollen eyelids (blepharitis)
- A white or gray spot on your cornea (these aren’t always visible, and even when they are, they can be hard to see without the right tools).

- If the eye has a large area of corneal abrasion, treatment with a bandage contact lens (BCL) and antibiotics may be attempted.
