Ocular Autoimmune Diseases

Ocular autoimmune diseases occur when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own eye tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. This can affect various parts of the eye, causing symptoms like redness, pain, blurred vision, and even vision loss. Common conditions include uveitis and scleritis. Treatment often involves medications to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune response. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent long-term damage and preserve eyesight. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional can help manage these conditions effectively.
