Confronting Corneal Ulcers

Antibiotic, antifungal or antiviral eye drops are the treatments of choice. Sometimes your ophthalmologist will prescribe antifungal tablets. In other cases, they will treat you with an injection of medication near the eye. Your ophthalmologist may prescribe steroid or anti-inflammatory eye drops after your infection has improved or is gone. This should reduce swelling and help prevent scarring. You should only use them under close supervision by your ophthalmologist. It is possible that steroid eye drops may worsen an infection so immediately contact ivision eye hospital for a detailed checkup.
