Corneal ulcers: what are they and are they dangerous?
Corneal ulcers are painful sores that develop on the cornea (the transparent layer on the front of the eye that covers the pupil, iris and anterior chamber). Professor Parwez Hossain, a leading ophthalmologist, details what this eye condition is and why it is important to be aware of. Whilst corneal ulcers are dangerous to our vision, they are not all that uncommon either.
