(H13.3*) Ocular pemphigoid

Ocular pemphigoid is an inflammatory autoimmune disorder in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the tissue of the eyes, leading to inflammation, scarring, and blister formation on the surface of the eye. it is a rare condition that can affect both eyes and can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Ocular pemphigoid is an autoimmune disorder caused by an abnormal immune response that results in the production of autoantibodies that target the basement membrane of the conjunctiva and/or cornea. these autoantibodies cause inflammation and blistering of the conjunctiva and/or cornea, which can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Ocular pemphigoid can be prevented by avoiding direct contact with irritants such as smoke, dust, and strong chemicals, and by wearing protective eyewear when engaging in activities that may expose the eyes to potential irritants. it is also important to practice good hygiene, such as regularly washing the hands and face, and to seek prompt medical attention if any signs of ocular pemphigoid develop.
