Condition
Episcleritis
A one-page care plan for patients with Episcleritis, covering Purpose, Prevention & Protection, Education & Expectations, Nutrition & Next Steps, Consistency, Indications and Lifestyle & Long-Term Success.
In this plan
Purpose, Prevention & Protection
- I know episcleritis affects tissue near the eye surface and is different from deeper, more serious scleritis.
- I understand the cause is often unknown; some cases occur with arthritis or inflammatory bowel disease.
- I tell my clinician about swollen joints, skin rashes, mouth sores, or ongoing bowel symptoms.
- I know typical episcleritis is not contagious and usually does not damage sight.
