Query About Keratitis

2021-05-06 11:59:25
Doctor, I Had Keratoconjunctivitis. Due To It, Small White Spots Developed in My Left Eye's Cornea. I Was Also Diagnosed With "L/E Stromal Keratitis" At The Same Time When I Was Diagnosed With The Small White Spots. Now, I've Heared That Stromal Keratitis Can Leave Scar(s) in Cornea (Due To Untreated Keratitis). Now, How Can I Know If There Has Scar(s) (Due To Untreated Keratitis) With The Small White Spots Due To Keratoconjunctivitis? Will Any Eye Specialist Be Able To Detect If There Has Scar(s) in Cornea (Due To Untreated Keratitis) With Small White Spots Due To Keratoconjunctivitis? Please Answer This, Doctor.

Hello I assume you are talking about viral keratoconjunctivitis. Here, initially there are multiple sub epithelial infiltrates which in some cases leaves scar.

Yes.  A simple slit lamp examination is enough to tell you about the white spots / scars.
Next Steps
offline consultation with local ophthalmologist .
