Abstract

Inflammatory ocular diseases cover a wide spectrum of conditions and are a growing public health concern. Dry eye disease is one of the most common conditions seen by eye care practitioners. Allergic conjunctivitis is also a highly prevalent condition, especially during hay fever season. In addition to these well characterized disorders, less-common inflammatory conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome and Stevens-Johnson syndrome also affect the eyes. Early diagnosis of these conditions is essential to optimize outcomes. In an expert interview, Bennie Jeng, Professor and Chair of the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences at the University of Maryland School of Medicine, discusses some of the latest advances in the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory eye disorders.
