Anterior Segment Ischemia

Anterior Segment Ischemia (ASI) refers to a condition where there is insufficient blood flow to the front part of the eye, particularly affecting the cornea and iris. This reduced blood supply can lead to various issues, including pain, swelling, and vision problems. ASI is often linked to surgeries, trauma, or diseases that affect the eye's blood vessels. Symptoms may include redness, light sensitivity, and a dull ache. Timely diagnosis and treatment are vital to prevent further complications and preserve vision. If you experience such symptoms after eye surgery or injury, consult an eye care professional promptly.
