Keratitis

Keratitis is the inflammation of the cornea, the transparent front layer of the eye. This condition can arise due to various causes, such as bacterial, viral, or fungal infections, injuries, dry eyes, or immune system issues. Here is patient information about keratitis:

  • Post-surgical eye infections

2. Symptoms:

3. Risk Factors:

  • Contact lens use
  • Eye injuries or surgical interventions
  • Weak immune system

5. Treatment Options:

  • Antibiotic, antiviral, or antifungal eye drops or ointments
  • Steroid eye drops (should be used under doctor’s supervision)
