Corneal ulcer

My doctor told me today that 1-2% of corneal abrasions can become corneal ulcers. Perhaps this should be included in the article? I often come to Wikipedia to educate myself on errata or things affecting my life, and I am incredibly grateful to those who dedicate their time and energy on this.--68.225.194.245 (talk) 03:01, 30 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

medical specialty ?

Why emergency medicine alone is listed under specialty (medicine) - but not ophthalmology..? - many thanks. 107.92.63.169 (talk) 00:50, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
