Corneal Abrasion Repair at The Eye Center P.A

Posted by Dr. Matthew Clary on December 26th, 2023

At The Eye Center P.A., our team of ophthalmologists and optometrists provide a wide range of services to help patients with corneal abrasions. Corneal abrasions are a common eye injury that can occur when the outer layer of the cornea is scratched or scraped by a foreign object, such as a fingernail, contact lens, or dust particle.

Corneal abrasions can be extremely painful and cause blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing. If left untreated, they can lead to infection and even vision loss. Fortunately, our team is here to help you get the treatment you need to repair your corneal abrasion and restore your vision.

At The Eye Center P.A., we provide comprehensive care for corneal abrasions that includes:

• Comprehensive eye exam: Our team will perform a comprehensive eye exam to assess the extent of your injury and determine the best course of treatment for you.
• Diagnostic testing: We may recommend diagnostic testing such as slit lamp examination (which uses bright light and magnification to examine the front of your eye) or corneal topography (which uses computer-generated maps to measure the curvature of your cornea).
• Treatment plan: Based on our findings from your exam and diagnostic tests, we will create an individualized treatment plan tailored specifically for you that may include antibiotics or steroid drops, pain medications, or even surgery if necessary.
• Follow-up care: We will monitor your progress during follow-up visits so we can ensure that your abrasion is healing properly and that no further complications arise from it.

Our team at The Eye Center P.A. provides compassionate care for all our patients suffering from corneal abrasions so they can get back on their feet quickly and safely with their vision restored in no time! We understand how important it is for you to get back to living life without worrying about discomfort or impaired vision due to an abrasion—that’s why we make sure our treatments are both effective and comfortable so you can rest assured knowing that you’re in good hands with us!
