Pannus: When Abnormal Blood Vessels Grow Over the Cornea •Pannus is an eye condition where abnormal blood vessels and fibrous tissue grow over the cornea, the clear front surface of the eye.• This growth can reduce the transparency of the cornea and affect vision if it progresses.•Common causes include chronic eye inflammation, long-term contact lens misuse, infections, trachoma, or severe dry eye conditions. •Continuous irritation of the cornea can trigger this abnormal tissue growth.•Symptoms may include redness, blurred vision, irritation, light sensitivity, and a visible hazy layer over the cornea.• In severe cases, vision may become significantly reduced.•Treatment focuses on managing the underlying cause, reducing inflammation, and protecting the cornea.• Lubricating drops, medications, and sometimes surgical procedures may be needed depending on severity.•At Paavai Eye & Skin Care Hospital, Salem, we provide detailed corneal evaluation and specialized treatment for corneal surface disorders to help preserve clear and healthy vision. #Pannus #CorneaCare #EyeCare #HealthyEyes 👁️
