Common symptoms of keratitis include eye redness, pain, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and excessive tearing or discharge.
Keratitis is diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, which may include visual acuity tests, slit-lamp examination, and corneal staining.
Treatment options for keratitis depend on the cause and may include antibiotic or antiviral eye drops, corticosteroids, and in some cases, surgical intervention.
