What Treatments are Available for Corneal Opacity Induced by Toxic Substances?
Treatment options for corneal opacity depend on the underlying cause and the extent of the damage. In cases of chemical exposure, immediate irrigation of the eye with water or saline is critical to minimize damage. Medical management may include the use of topical corticosteroids to reduce inflammation or antibiotics to prevent infection. For severe or persistent opacity, surgical options such as corneal transplantation or laser surgery may be considered to restore vision.
