Abstract :

Bacterial Corneal ulcer is serious infectious disease that remains a therapeutic challenge and vision threatening ocular condition. Rapid isolation of pathogenic bacteria and treatment with ocular antibiotics represents decisive steps in management of bacterial corneal ulcer. Corneal ulcer may be defined as discontinuation in normal epithelial surface of cornea associated with necrosis of surrounding cornea tissue. It was found that out of 110 patients, 72 patients were positive for corneal ulcer (65.45%), corneal opacity was observed in 16.66% cases of corneal ulcer (Table 1). Further the study revealed 61.12% cases of trauma and 38.88 % cases of corneal injury.
