All of us may have experienced some form of eye irritation at some point in our lives. Inflammation is at the root cause of many chronic illness but you may not have considered how inflammation may affect your eye health.

Some forms of eye inflammation can cause redness, watering, pain, blurred vision and sensitivity to light. Blephartis and dry eye have been associated with inflammation that can lead to long term effects on your eye health.

Treatments for these inflammatory diseases exist, but these therapies do not always work or might lead to long-term treatment. Changes in your diet might help improve your condition by lowering the amount of inflammation in your body. According to USC Health, some researchers believe eating foods that do not promote inflammation inside the body might lessen inflammatory responses in the eye. You should still discuss any eye problems with your eye care professional.
