Conjunctival fibrosis, caused by chronic inflammation, alters eye structures, leading to dryness and vision problems. Early diagnosis and varied treatments, including surgery, can restore ocular health.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Immunology

Background:

  • Conjunctival fibrosis stems from chronic inflammation, disrupting ocular architecture.
  • This condition can cause dry eye, entropion, trichiasis, and corneal issues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the causes, diagnosis, and management of conjunctival fibrosis.
  • To highlight underdiagnosed etiologies like ocular rosacea and atopic keratoconjunctivitis.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of conjunctival fibrosis causes and treatments.
  • Analysis of diagnostic approaches including medical history, physical examination, and lab tests.

Main Results:

  • Identified autoimmune diseases (e.g., ocular cicatricial pemphigoid), burns, infections, and Stevens-Johnson syndrome as causes.

  • Ocular rosacea and atopic keratoconjunctivitis are frequently underdiagnosed contributors.
  • Management strategies range from medical interventions to surgical restoration.

    • Conclusions:

    • Conjunctival fibrosis has diverse causes, requiring accurate diagnosis for effective treatment.
    • Prompt medical and surgical interventions are crucial for preserving vision and ocular function.
