What are the symptoms of keratopathy?

summary

Keratitis is mainly due to internal or external causes of corneal trauma, bacteria and virus invasion of the cornea caused by local inflammation. What are the symptoms and treatment of keratitis? Let's share my experience with you.

What are the symptoms of keratopathy?

At the beginning of keratitis, there may be eye pain, photophobia, tears, blepharospasm, eye congestion, vision loss and other symptoms. With the development of the disease, the transparency of the cornea is reduced, which can show ground glass.

When corneal ulcer appears, the lesion area can be gray. The central depression, peripheral edema and turbidity area, surrounding the lesion site is still transparent.

The basic principle of the treatment of corneal ulcer is to take all effective measures immediately, control infection quickly, promote ulcer healing as soon as possible, reduce scar, prevent complications, try our best to maintain effective vision, and reduce the sequelae of keratitis to the minimum. If necessary, bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test can be done to help diagnosis and treatment, but the treatment time should not be delayed because of waiting for the test results.

matters needing attention

If keratitis causes more secretions in eyes, normal saline or 3% boric acid solution can be used to wash conjunctival sac three or more times a day, so as to wash out secretions, necrotic tissue, bacteria and toxins produced by bacteria. In this way, not only the factors of infection expansion can be reduced, but also the concentration of local application can be ensured.
