Service Providers for Corneal Swab (Lt.) for C/S
A Corneal Swab (Lt.) for C/S (Culture and Sensitivity) is a test used to detect infections in the left cornea of the eye. During the procedure, a sample is taken from the surface of the cornea using a sterile swab. The sample is cultured in a laboratory to grow any bacterial, fungal, or viral organisms that may be causing an infection. After identifying the pathogen, a sensitivity test is performed to determine which antibiotics or antifungal treatments will be most effective against the infection. This test is crucial for diagnosing conditions like keratitis or corneal ulcers, which can cause symptoms such as pain, redness, discharge, or vision changes.
