A member asked:

Ulcerated cornea/surgery on eye. what can i expect?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

What surgery: This is definitely something that needs to be seen to determine the diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If the ulcer is so deep that there is a risk of penetrating the eye then a surgical procedure is necessary.
