Inflammatory Eye Diseases
Inflammatory eye diseases refer to a group of conditions where the eye tissues become inflamed, leading to symptoms such as redness, pain, and vision changes. Common types include uveitis, scleritis, and keratitis. These conditions can be caused by infections, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to toxins.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination and may include imaging tests. Treatment often includes anti-inflammatory medications, such as corticosteroids, and addressing any underlying causes. Early intervention is crucial to prevent complications, including vision loss. Regular follow-ups with an eye care professional are essential for managing these diseases effectively.
