Cornea Infection: Which Doctor to Consult for Right Eye Vision Loss?

If you’re unable to see from your right eye due to a corneal infection, it's important to consult an ophthalmologist, specifically one who is a cornea specialist (also known as a corneal surgeon or cornea consultant). They deal with infections, injuries, ulcers, and diseases related to the cornea — the clear front layer of the eye.
