Can you tell me about the best treatment for a scratch on the cornea?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Scratch on cornea: Patients should see a doctor for treatment of a corneal scratch. Even a small scratch can become infected and lead to vision loss. Antibiotic drops or ointments are generally called for. In some cases, patching or bandage contact lenses may be used to assist healing.
