Posterior sclerite

Posterior scleritis (lat. scleritis posterior) is an inflammation of the posterior part of the sclera, which can be caused by various reasons, including infectious diseases, autoimmune processes and eye injuries.

Posterior scleritis appears as redness and swelling at the back of the sclera. In addition, symptoms such as pain, sensitivity to light, watery eyes, and decreased visual acuity may occur.

Diagnosis of posterior scleritis involves examining the eye with a slit lamp and performing a blood test to check for infectious pathogens. Treatment usually includes anti-inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and steroids.

However, if scleritis does not go away within a few weeks or months, surgery may be required. The surgical procedure involves removing the diseased tissue and restoring normal functioning of the eye.

In general, posterior scleritis is a serious disease that requires timely diagnosis and treatment. If you notice symptoms of this disease, consult your doctor immediately.
