A corneal ulcer is an open sore on the cornea, usually caused by an infection. It can result from bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infections, as well as from physical trauma, contact lens misuse, or underlying eye conditions. Corneal ulcers are a medical emergency, as they can cause severe pain, vision loss, and scarring if not treated promptly.
