Meaning of "keratitis" in English

Keratitis is an inflammation of the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye that covers the iris and pupil. It can be caused by infections, injury, or diseases and results in symptoms such as eye redness, pain, and blurred vision. This condition is significant because it can lead to vision loss if not treated properly. Diagnosing keratitis typically involves an eye examination, and treatment depends on the underlying cause, ranging from antibiotic drops for infections to steroid drops for inflammation.
