Episcleritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Episcleritis is the inflammation of the episclera, a thin layer of tissue located between the white part of the eye and its outermost layer. It is usually a mild condition of sudden onset.
Common symptoms: Localized redness in one area of the eye, mild discomfort or a sensation of irritation, without significantly affecting vision.
When to see a doctor? Although it is usually benign, it is a good idea to have any eye redness checked if it persists, recurs, or is accompanied by intense pain or changes in vision.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the right professional to examine the eye and distinguish this inflammation from other similar conditions. If you notice a red eye that does not improve, the prudent course is to seek an eye examination.
