Eye inflammation, also known as ocular inflammation or uveitis, is a condition characterized by swelling and irritation of the eye's uvea, which is the middle layer of the eye. This condition can cause pain, redness, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and other symptoms.
Eye inflammation can have several causes, including infections, autoimmune diseases, trauma, and exposure to certain chemicals or medications. In some cases, the underlying cause of eye inflammation may be unknown.
Treatment for eye inflammation depends on the underlying cause and severity of the condition. Mild cases may be treated with eye drops containing corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). In more severe cases, oral medications or injections may be necessary. If the underlying cause of eye inflammation is an infection, antibiotics or antiviral medication may be prescribed.
If you are experiencing symptoms of eye inflammation, it is important to seek prompt medical attention from an eye doctor or other healthcare professional. Left untreated, eye inflammation can lead to complications such as vision loss, cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal detachment.
