Symptoms of Immunology

Immunological eye conditions like scleritis and uveitis can present with symptoms such as eye pain, redness, light sensitivity, and blurred vision. Patients may also notice visual disturbances or changes in their overall vision. Symptoms can vary in severity and duration, making it important to seek evaluation if you experience persistent discomfort or changes in your eye health. Early treatment is essential to prevent complications.

Risk Factors for Immunology

Immunological eye conditions, such as uveitis and scleritis, are often related to autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis. Risk factors include a family history of autoimmune disorders, viral or bacterial infections, and systemic inflammation. Smoking and long-term exposure to environmental toxins may also heighten the risk of developing these chronic inflammatory eye conditions, potentially affecting vision.

Causes of Immunology

Eye-related immunological conditions, like uveitis or scleritis, are caused by autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or ankylosing spondylitis. These diseases trigger inflammation in the eye. Infections from bacteria, viruses, or fungi can also lead to these conditions. Environmental factors, trauma, or exposure to allergens can exacerbate the immune response, causing chronic inflammation and affecting eye health.
