DESCRIPTION: A term used to define a wide variety of corneal infections,
irritations, and inflammations; since each type of condition is unique,
medical diagnosis and treatment is essential. Corneal ulcers are commonly
caused by bacterial or fungal invasions following superficial corneal
abrasions; among the common infectious agents are: staphyloccus,
streptococcus, herpes (both simplex and zoster), adenovirus, rubeola,
rubella, mumps, trachoma, infectious mononucleosis, and pneumococcus; also
at fault may be Vitamin A deficiency or broad spectrum antibiotic drug
reactions. Corneal ulcers may also follow trauma, may be associated with
other eye infections (e.g., conjunctivitis), may be related to other corneal
disorders (e.g., degenerative conditions, or ptosis, which may cause a "dry
eye"), or may arise from a variety of systemic disorders (especially those
of autoimmune origin). Symptoms of corneal infection include extreme pain
and photophobia.

I have seenthe eye doctor and am putting drops in both eyes. I wash my hands
and take cod liver oil and eat yellow veggies.

Any other suggestions?
