Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid

Ocular Cicatricial Pemphigoid (OCP) is a rare autoimmune condition that primarily affects the eyes, causing painful inflammation and scarring. It occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the tissues around the eyes, leading to issues like chronic redness, dryness, and potential vision loss. In the context of uveitis, which is inflammation inside the eye, OCP can complicate treatment and management. Proper diagnosis and care from an eye specialist are essential to prevent severe damage and preserve vision, as ongoing inflammation can significantly impact ocular health.
