How long does it take for a ruptured cornea to heal?

The recovery time for corneal rupture varies depending on the severity of the injury and individual differences. Generally, mild corneal injuries, such as punctate abrasions, may heal naturally within about 10 days; moderate corneal damage may take approximately one month to recover. When the corneal rupture is larger than 3 millimeters, the healing period is relatively longer, often requiring suture treatment under a doctor's guidance, with the overall recovery time reaching about three months. Additionally, factors such as whether there is an accompanying infection and individual variations can also affect the recovery duration. Therefore, after a corneal rupture, it is important to maintain good eye hygiene, avoid rubbing the eyes, minimize the risk of infection, and follow the doctor’s recommendations for appropriate treatment and care.
