Inflammation of sclera

Inflammation of the sclera, known as scleritis, is a condition where the white outer layer of the eye (the sclera) becomes swollen and painful. This can occur due to various factors, including infections, autoimmune disorders, or injuries. Symptoms often include eye redness, tenderness, and sometimes vision changes. Scleritis can be serious and may lead to complications if not treated. Treatment typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and address any underlying causes. If you experience persistent eye discomfort or changes in vision, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.
