4. Tearing or discharge.
Another symptom that is often associated with keratitis is excessive tearing or discharge. Your eyes may seem like they are constantly watering, as they would if you were suffering from hayfever or if smoke got in your eye. The watering can become thicker and resemble a discharge that’s similar to the discharge the eye produces when it has become ill with conjunctivitis. Because the symptoms that are associated with keratitis are so similar to other eye afflictions, it’s important to your doctor if you are experiencing any of these side effects.
A correct diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial for this condition, as with other all other afflictions of the eye. If you are noticing that your eyes are excessively teary or that they seem to be producing a discharge, and you are also experiencing any other signs on this list, seek prompt medical care.
