Clinical Evaluation of Corneal Ulcer among Patients Attending Teaching Hospital

Introduction: To effectively prevent blindness in patients with corneal ulcer, a proper understanding of risk factors predisposing to ulceration, and clinical and microbial characteristics of the disease is essential. Aim is to know the age and sex distribution of corneal ulcer. To identify the predisposing factors, etiological factors contributing to corneal ulcer. To study the clinical featur...
