What is the white object that grows on the surface of the eye after an eye injury?

Patient's question:

After my eye injury, a white object grew on the surface of my eye. What is this situation? Is it caused by the injury that the tear glands of my eyes have once again appeared different? What should I do to recover? Is there any good advice? How can I get better?

Doctor's answer:

The white substance on the surface of the eye is usually caused by corneal scars due to trauma. Mild cases may manifest as corneal opacity, while severe cases may appear as corneal leukoma. These conditions generally do not respond well to conservative treatment. If the corneal scars affect vision, corneal transplantation surgery can be considered early under certain conditions. This not only serves the purpose of aesthetic improvement but also helps stabilize vision.
Regulate physical and mental health, maintain personal hygiene, and avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
