An ulcer on the cornea causes pain and discomfort in the eye, and may make the white of the eye turn pink or red. In addition, you may be able to see the ulcer as a whitish patch and your vision in that eye may be misted over or otherwise impaired. This condition needs immediate attention. Corneal ulcers are more common with extended wear contact lenses or non-compliant contact lens wearers.
