Keratitis Market

Keratitis Market

Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea that may result from infections (bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) or non-infectious causes such as contact lens misuse, trauma, or dry eye disease. Symptoms include eye pain, redness, blurred vision, tearing, photophobia, and corneal ulcers. If untreated, keratitis can cause scarring, vision impairment, or blindness, making timely diagnosis and treatment crucial.
