Chorioretinitis is an eye condition characterized by inflammation of the choroid and retina, two important layers of the eye. This inflammation can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, floaters, and in some cases, vision loss. It can be caused by various factors, including infections, autoimmune diseases, or exposure to certain toxins.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, including imaging tests like optical coherence tomography (OCT) or fundus photography. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and may include medications such as corticosteroids or antibiotics to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms. Early detection and intervention are crucial for preserving vision.
