INFLAMMATORY EYE DISEASE WEEK

The fifth annual observance of Inflammatory Eye Disease (IED) Week kicked off on Oct. 20 and runs through Oct. 26 this year. Sponsored by Prevent Blindness, IED Week is an opportunity to bring awareness to the common conditions that cause eye inflammation.


Inflammation is the body’s natural response to injury, infection, or irritation and can happen at any age. It can also occur in response to normally harmless substances, such as dust, grass, or pollen. While most cases of eye inflammation can be successfully treated, rare instances can threaten eyesight, making early diagnosis crucial.


Click the button below to watch or listen to our Eyecare Experts podcast featuring Dr. Gene Terrezza and Dr. Troy Bell with special guest, Dr. Oscar Corredor who covers IED in more detail.
