  2. Corneal abrasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_abrasion

    Corneal abrasion is a scratch to the surface of the cornea of the eye. [3] Symptoms include pain, redness, light sensitivity , and a feeling like a foreign body is in the eye. [ 1 ] Most people recover completely within three days.

  3. Eye injuries during general anaesthesia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_injuries_during...

    Corneal abrasions are the most common injury; they are caused by direct trauma, exposure keratopathy/keratitis [1] [7] [8] or chemical injury. [7] [9]An open eye increases the vulnerability of the cornea to direct trauma from objects such as face masks, laryngoscopes, identification badges, stethoscopes, surgical instruments, anaesthetic circuits, and drapes.

  4. Eye injury - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_injury

    Up until circa 1987, pressure patches were the preferred method of treatment for corneal abrasions in non-contact lens wearers; multiple controlled studies conducted by accredited organizations such as the American Academy of Ophthalmology have shown that pressure patching is of little or no value in healing corneal abrasions and is actually ...

  5. Recurrent corneal erosion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Recurrent_corneal_erosion

    Recurrent corneal erosion (RCE) is a disorder of the eyes characterized by the failure of the cornea's outermost layer of epithelial cells to attach to the underlying basement membrane (Bowman's layer). The condition is excruciatingly painful because the loss of these cells results in the exposure of sensitive corneal nerves.

  6. Effects of long-term contact lens wear on the cornea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_long-term...

    Contact lenses cause corneal neovascularization because they restrict oxygen diffusion to the corneal epithelium. In the short term, the cornea responds to oxygen deprivation by increasing blood flow to the corneal limbus, the narrow circular border between the cornea and sclera. Over time, this chronic limbal hyperemia can progress to corneal ...

  7. Acanthamoeba keratitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acanthamoeba_keratitis

    In the United States, Acanthamoeba keratitis is nearly always associated with soft contact lens use. [7] Acanthamoeba spp. is most commonly introduced to the eye by contact lenses that have been exposed to the organism through the use of contaminated lens solution, using homemade saline-based solution or tap water, or from wearing contact lenses while bathing or swimming.

  8. Photokeratitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photokeratitis

    Photokeratitis is akin to a sunburn of the cornea and conjunctiva. The injury may be prevented by wearing eye protection that blocks most of the ultraviolet radiation, such as welding goggles with the proper filters, a welder's helmet, sunglasses rated for sufficient UV protection, or appropriate snow goggles.

  9. Corneal perforation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corneal_perforation

    Corneal perforation is an anomaly in the cornea resulting from damage to the corneal surface. A corneal perforation means that the cornea has been penetrated, thus leaving the cornea damaged. The cornea is a clear part of the eye which controls and focuses the entry of light into the eye. Damage to the cornea due to corneal perforation can ...
