Conjunctival Fibrosis

Conjunctival fibrosis is a condition where the thin membrane covering the eye (the conjunctiva) becomes thickened or scarred. This can occur due to inflammation, injury, or surgery, leading to discomfort and vision problems. The thickening can restrict movement of the eyelids or cause irritation. Symptoms may include redness, dryness, and a feeling of fullness in the eye. Treatment often involves managing underlying causes, reducing inflammation, or in some cases, surgery to restore normal appearance and function. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional are important for monitoring and addressing this condition.
