- 30. A corneal ulcer is an ocular emergency that raises high stakes of questions about diagnosis and management. When a large corneal ulcer is staring you in the face time isn't in your side. Despite varying etiologies and presentations, as well as different treatment approaches , corneal ulcers have one thing in common : the potential to cause devastating loss of vision. Important Facts
