Corneal Ulcer
I've been diagnosed with corneal ulcer due to contact lens hygiene and have been prescribed anti-bacterial eye drops and anti biotics. But what if the ulcer is viral or fungi? The ulcer has stopped increasing but does not seem to be reducing in size.

Hello.. It takes time for healing...well the ophthalmologist would have suggested the medications only after thorough examination... So kindly relax and follow up with the doctor
