Is eye ulcer caused by cancer?

No, eye ulcers are not caused by cancer. Many contact lens users could get an eye ulcer on the cornea. I have experienced this myself and it is extremely painful; I was writhing in pain and the doctors surgery was closed so i waited till the next day where i was prescribed medication quickly (eyedrops) and referred to hospital to see if there was any damage. There was no damage and I'm back to wearing my rigid contacts again; which is probably why i was more prone to getting an eye ulcer. Take care when cleaning lenses please.
