Keratitis

Today I had the opportunity to do some research on Keratitis. Keratitis is inflammation of the cornea that can be caused by different types of infections, dry eye, and injuries to the eye. Symptoms of this condition include: eye redness, eye pain, blurred vision, and sensitivity to lights. There are some major risk factors that go along with keratitis. Sleeping in your contact lenses and having a compromised immune system increases your chance of obtaining keratitis. There are some ways to prevent keratitis. Washing your hands before handling your contacts is key to a healthy eye. When you are sick, avoid touching your eyes so you don't spread an infection. I am very grateful too have had the opportunity to research this eye condition.
