Corneal inflammation, also known as keratitis, is one of the eye diseases and a common eye problem. There are many reasons for keratitis, such as bacterial infection, infection caused by trauma and other chronic diseases. Corneal inflammation or discomfort will make people see things blurred, have a feeling of pain, or be afraid of light and cry easily. There will also be very obvious problems such as decreased vision, which is also one of the diseases that lead to blindness. Therefore, we should not underestimate corneal inflammation and take active measures to treat it.

Specific causes of corneal inflammation

The causes of keratitis can be summarized as follows: first, infections caused by various reasons, such as corneal injury infection, or contact with contaminated drugs, water source infection, and decreased physical resistance caused by some chronic consumptive diseases such as diabetes, can all cause keratitis. In addition, there are internal factors, such as autoimmune diseases and systemic diseases. These problems can also affect the cornea. Coupled with some external factors, it is easy to suffer from keratitis. There are also keratitis such as malnutrition and severe conjunctivitis.

Method for treating corneal inflammation

Treatment methods are generally anti-inflammatory and infection control methods, and more importantly, eliminating pathogenic bacteria. If it is the cause of immune or systemic diseases, we should pay attention to controlling our own diseases and stick to medication. If it is not serious, there is no need for surgery. For less severe keratitis, in addition to using anti-inflammatory drugs, we should also pay attention to eye cleaning. We can wash our eyes with normal saline to wash away secretions and bacteria. Then you can use hot compress to promote blood flow and enhance eye nutrition. Drugs are generally oral drugs and topical drops. In addition, in order to restore the health of eyes as soon as possible, some vitamin A can be supplemented appropriately.
