A corneal abrasion is a scrape of the top layer, the epithelium, but does not go through Bowman's layer underneath this. A corneal ulcer is an open sore/erosion (from inflammation or infection) that goes through Bowman's layer into the deeper layers of the cornea.
An abrasion means that the surface layers of the skin (epidermis) has been broken. Thin-skinned bony areas (like knees, ankles and elbows) are more prone to abrasions than thicker, more padded areas. The scraped skin of an abrasion can contain particles of dirt.
A corneal laceration is a cut on the cornea. It is usually caused by something sharp flying into the eye. It can also be caused by something striking the eye with significant force, like a metallic hand tool. A corneal laceration is deeper than a corneal abrasion, cutting partially or fully through the cornea.
