Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a human disease characterised by loss
of photoreceptor cells, especially rods, leading to visual
disturbance and eventually blindness. Effective treatments for
controlling RP remain unavailable. Infectious keratitis is a visual
threatening eye condition of the cornea that can cause severe
visual loss if not appropriately managed in a timely manner. Only
50% of the eyes will enjoy good visual recovery if antibiotic
treatment is delayed. Causative pathogens include bacteria, virus,
fungus, protozoa and parasites. A number of risk factors have been
identified for microbial keratitis, including contact lens wear,
recent ocular surgery or ocular trauma, ocular surface disease, dry
eyes, eyelid deformities, corneal sensation impairment, chronic use
of topical steroids and immunocompromised states. This book
discusses the prevalence, symptoms and treatment options of eye
disorders.
