Ophthalmic Inflammation

Ophthalmic inflammation refers to swelling and irritation in the eye or surrounding tissues, which can be caused by various factors such as infections, allergies, or autoimmune conditions. Symptoms often include redness, pain, tearing, or blurry vision. The inflammation occurs as the body’s immune response to protect itself, but it can lead to discomfort and vision problems. Treatment typically involves medication like anti-inflammatory drops or oral drugs, depending on the cause and severity. Timely medical attention is important to prevent long-term damage to the eye.
