“May all be happy, may all be healed, may all be at peace and may no one ever suffer."
Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, which is the clear outer covering of the eye. There are several different types of keratitis, including:
Symptoms of keratitis may include eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, blurred vision, and tearing. Treatment for keratitis depends on the underlying cause of the condition. If the keratitis is caused by an infection, antibiotics or antifungal medications may be prescribed. Non-infectious keratitis may be treated with eye drops or ointments to reduce inflammation and promote healing. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair or replace the damaged cornea.
If you are experiencing symptoms of keratitis, it is important to see an eye doctor as soon as possible for diagnosis and treatment. Delay in treatment may result in complications and permanent damage to the eye.
