Conjunctival scars - what does this mean
Conjunctival scars are caused by the destruction of the conjunctival tissue due to a variety of conditions such as infections, trauma, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, or neoplastic lesions. these conditions can cause scarring of the conjunctiva, which can lead to vision problems, discomfort, and other ocular surface complications.
What happens during the disease - conjunctival scars
Conjunctival scars are caused by the abnormal healing of a wound or injury to the conjunctiva, the thin, clear tissue that lines the inner surface of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. scarring can be caused by infections, burns, or injuries, and can lead to a decrease in the eye’s ability to move, increased sensitivity to light, and decreased vision.
