Ocular Inflammation & Immunology  

Understanding Ocular Inflammation & Immunology

Ocular inflammation, also known as uveitis, refers to a group of inflammatory conditions that can affect various parts of the eye, including the uvea, retina, lens, and optic nerve. These conditions are often linked to autoimmune disorders, infections, or other systemic health issues. At Raj Eye Hospital, we understand that ocular inflammation can be both painful and sight-threatening, requiring prompt and precise treatment. Symptoms such as redness, pain, light sensitivity, and blurred vision should never be ignored, as they can indicate serious underlying issues that need immediate attention.

The field of ocular immunology deals with the immune system’s role in eye health, particularly in cases where the body’s immune response mistakenly targets the eye tissue, leading to inflammation. Conditions such as uveitis, scleritis, and keratitis are complex and require specialized care. At Raj Eye Hospital, our ocular immunology specialists are equipped with the expertise to diagnose and treat these conditions effectively. We use advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of inflammation and work closely with rheumatologists and other specialists to manage any related systemic conditions, ensuring comprehensive care for our patients.
