OverviewIf you're like most people, you probably don't think much about your corneas. But if you wear glasses or contact lenses, you know that your eyes are important. Your corneas are the front surfaces of your eyes. They're the only parts of your eyes that you can see. Corneal abrasion is the most common eye injury. It's caused when something sharp or rough touches the front surface of your cornea. Even the slightest abrasion can cause pain, blurred vision, and, in some cases, blindness. Fortunately, corneal abrasion is easily preventable. Always use caution when handling anything that could potentially injure your eyes. And if you do get a corneal abrasion, don't try to self-treat it. Seek medical attention right away. Thanks for reading. I hope this introduction to corneal abrasion has given you a better understanding of the issue and what you can do to protect your eyes. Corneal abrasions are caused by either mechanical or chemical irritation of the cornea. Mechanical abrasion occurs when the surface of the cornea is roughened by contact with something hard, like a piece of metal. Chemical abrasion occurs when the eye is exposed to an irritant, like acids or alkalis. Regardless of the cause, corneal abrasions can cause pain, vision problems, and even permanent damage. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to get medical attention as soon as possible.
