Marginal keratitis treatment is focused on managing inflammation and infection at the corneal margin, the edge of the cornea where it meets the sclera. This condition is often caused by bacterial infections, allergic reactions, or underlying systemic conditions such as blepharitis. The treatment may include topical antibiotics or steroids to reduce inflammation, along with addressing any underlying conditions contributing to the keratitis.
In more severe cases, oral medications or additional surgical interventions may be required to manage the condition and prevent scarring or vision impairment. Marginal keratitis can result in corneal opacities and vision loss if left untreated.
With proper treatment, marginal keratitis can be managed effectively, and most patients experience full recovery with no lasting visual impairment.
