Dx corneal ulcer 2 nights ago. gram stain: v. rare squamous epithelial cells, no polys, v. rare gram neg rods.i have f/u, just want a sense of how bad?

Contact lens wearer?: Most corneal ulcers are from contact lens abuse. I hope your lens was taken out and you are started on antibiotic medication. It is a rare corneal ulcer that does not respond readily to topical antibiotics. I hope you are seeing an ophthalmologist and not an optometrist.
