Picture the windshield of a car; your cornea serves the exact same purpose for your eye as the windshield does for a car. It protects the inside of the eye from the external world.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A corneal ulcer can be equated to a chip or a crack in a windshield. Any damage to the cornea can lead to significant distress in your everyday functioning by disrupting your vision. It is a medical emergency and requires urgent intervention as it can lead to permanent damage if treatment is delayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corneal_Ulcer_Symptoms\"><\/span>Corneal Ulcer Symptoms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some common corneal ulcer symptoms include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Red or bloodshot eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/eye-pain-common-causes-symptoms-when-to-see-a-doctor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Eye pain<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/reasons-why-you-may-have-blurry-vision-in-one-eye\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Blurred vision<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflamed or swollen eyelids<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Light sensitivity<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Teary or watery eyes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Corneal_Ulcer_Causes\"><\/span>Corneal Ulcer Causes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Corneal ulcers can develop due to various reasons, but are primarily due to infections.
