Pannus refers to a growth of vascular tissue over the cornea, often associated with chronic inflammation or irritation, which can affect vision.
Treatment options may include topical medications, surgical intervention, or laser therapy, depending on the severity and underlying cause of the condition.
Pannus can occur in various eye conditions, particularly in patients with chronic dry eye or those who have had long-term exposure to irritants. Its prevalence varies based on underlying risk factors.
