Ocular Surface Disorders

Ocular surface disorders refer to a group of conditions affecting the front part of the eye, including the eyelids, cornea, and conjunctiva (the clear tissue covering the eye). Common issues include dryness, redness, irritation, and inflammation, often caused by factors like allergies, infections, or environmental conditions. These disorders can lead to discomfort, blurred vision, and even more serious complications if untreated. Effective management may involve artificial tears, medications, or lifestyle changes to protect and soothe the ocular surface, improving overall eye health and comfort. Regular eye examinations are essential for proper diagnosis and treatment.
