Immune-Mediated Ocular Diseases

Immune-mediated ocular diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the eye's tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. Conditions like uveitis (inflammation of the middle eye layer) and autoimmune disorders can disrupt vision and cause pain. Symptoms may include redness, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and discomfort. Treatment often involves medications to reduce inflammation and control the immune response, allowing for better eye health and vision preservation. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for preventing long-term complications.
