Corneal blindness occurs when the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, becomes damaged or diseased, leading to vision loss. This condition can result from various factors, including infections, injuries, or genetic disorders. When the cornea is affected, it can become cloudy, preventing light from entering the eye properly. Treatment options for corneal blindness may include medications, contact lenses, or surgical procedures like corneal transplants. In some cases, artificial corneas can also be used to restore vision. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for improving outcomes and preserving sight.
