Scleritis is more commonly treated with the application of glucocorticoid eye drops and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory eye drops under the direction of a doctor, and oral medication or a surgical approach if necessary.
Scleritis is an inflammatory disease that occurs in the outer wall of the eye. For scleritis caused by non-infectious factors, patients can use glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisolone acetate eye drops and fluticasone eye drops under the guidance of a doctor. Combined with the application of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Pranoprofen Eye Drops, Diclofenac Sodium Eye Drops, etc., it can reduce the inflammatory reaction of the sclera.
If glucocorticoid eye drops are not effective, patients may consider immunosuppressive agents such as methotrexate, azathioprine, and cyclophosphamide as prescribed. For patients with significant pain, oral NSAIDs such as indomethacin and acetaminophen are prescribed.
In addition to medications, in severe cases of scleritis, such as scleral necrosis and perforation, surgical procedures such as allograft scleral transplantation may be considered.
In most cases, the prognosis for scleritis is favorable with aggressive treatment, and patients should seek medical attention in a timely manner to avoid delays.
