French Bulldogs' prominent, exposed eyes make them highly susceptible to corneal ulcers — painful erosions on the surface of the eye caused by trauma, dry eye, or infection. Without prompt treatment, ulcers can deepen and potentially lead to vision loss.

Common symptoms include squinting or holding eye shut, excessive tearing, redness around the eye, visible cloudy spot on the eye surface. Treatment options range across antibiotic eye drops, atropine drops for pain, surgical debridement for non-healing ulcers, conjunctival graft (severe cases).

Corneal ulcers are typically covered as illness or accident depending on the cause. Frenchies with recurring eye issues benefit from plans without per-condition caps.
