Medical Conditions - Episcleritis

Episcleritis is a self-limiting inflammatory condition that affects the episclera, a clear layer over the sclera. The exact cause of this condition is unknown; however, people with rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease are more often affected by this condition. Teary eyes, light sensitivity, and a feeling of warmth over the eye are common symptoms. Corticosteroids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are used to treat this condition.
