What are corneal infections?

Corneal infections, or cornea eye infections, are medical conditions affecting the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped surface at the front of the eye. These infections can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites and often result from injury or contact lens wear.

Symptoms include redness, pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and discharge. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent vision impairment or permanent damage to the eye.

Corneal Infection Treatment typically involves antibiotic, antifungal, or antiviral medications, depending on the cause.

What Causes Corneal Infections?

Bacterial Contamination: Primary cause, poor hygiene with contact lenses, leading to bacterial growth.
Viral Infections: Common factor, herpes simplex virus affects the cornea, causing inflammation and discomfort.
Fungal Infections: Environmental source, exposure to organic material like soil or plants, introduces fungi.
Parasitic Infections: Associated with water, Acanthamoeba from contaminated water affecting contact lens users.
Corneal Injury: Direct cause, physical trauma to the eye allows pathogens to penetrate.
Reduced Immunity: Risk factor, weakened immune systems more susceptible to infections.

How is cornea eye infection treated?

Corneal infection treatment typically involves using antibiotic eye drops or ointments to eliminate the infection. In more severe cases, oral antibiotics may be prescribed. If the infection persists or causes significant damage to the cornea, additional treatments such as corneal debridement (removal of infected tissue) or surgery may be necessary.

During Corneal Infection Treatment, the infected area of the cornea may be removed and replaced with healthy tissue from a donor (corneal transplant). It’s important to seek prompt treatment for corneal infections to prevent vision loss and other complications.
