Corneal ulcer or ulcerative keratitis is an inflammatory or more seriously infective condition of the cornea involving disruption of its epithelial layer with involvement of the corneal stroma. It is a common condition in humans particularly in the tropics and the agrarian societies. In developing countries children afflicted by Vitamin A deficiency are at high risk for corneal ulcer and may become blind in both eyes which may persist lifelong.
