Abstract

Episcleritis is a benign, recurrent inflammation of the episclera that affects only the tenon's capsule above it and not the sclera underneath. Young adults are frequently affected, and women are twice as likely as males to experience it. The majority of instances are idiopathic, but they may be linked to connective tissue disorders or brought on by an external trigger. It can repeat without any complications and is typically a benign, self-limiting condition. The 26-year-old female patient came to the eye OPD complaining of minor discomfort and redness in the left eye that had been present for five to six days. Beshaja (medical management) was a successful method of handling the issue.
