Keratitis: symptoms, causes and treatment

Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, that delicate and precious transparent membrane that lines and protects the front of our eye. What is keratitis caused by? Are there individuals more or less predisposed to contract it? More importantly, how can it be treated and solved? Let’s try to shed some light on the subject.

The cornea has a shape and structure that make it perfect for its role in visual function. It is composed mostly of collagen fibers arranged in such a way as to allow perfect transparency. Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea that, if not diagnosed and treated in time, can damage the structure of the cornea and even seriously impair visual ability.
