Papillitis

Papillitis is the inflammation of the optic nerve head, which is where the optic nerve enters the eye. This condition can lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, pain, or loss of vision in one eye. It often occurs due to infections, autoimmune diseases, or other underlying health issues. Diagnosing papillitis typically involves a comprehensive eye exam and may require imaging tests to determine the cause. Treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause and may include medications to reduce inflammation. Early detection is important to prevent potential vision loss.
