#Scleritis #EyeHealth #Ophthalmology #MedicalIllustration #AnteriorScleritis #PosteriorScleritis This is a medical illustration detailing a condition called Scleritis, comparing a healthy eye to an eye affected by the condition. The image is divided into two main sections: Left Side: External View Healthy eye: Shows a normal human eye. Labels point to the Cornea (the clear front part of the eye) and the combined layers of the Conjunctiva, episclera and sclera (the white part of the eye). The white area appears clear and normal. Scleritis: Shows an eye with significant redness in the white area. Labels point to the inflamed Episcleral vessels and the deeper, engorged Scleral vessels, illustrating the severe redness associated with the condition. Right Side: Cross-Sectional View This section provides a 3D cutaway view of the eye ("Eye cross section"), showing the layers: Retina (innermost), Choroid (middle), and Sclera (outermost). Below the sclera, it also shows the Episclera and Conjunctiva layers. It highlights two types of Scleritis with red shading on the cross-section to indicate inflammation: Anterior scleritis: The red shading is at the front part of the sclera. The text explains this is the most common form, presenting with severe redness and deep "boring" pain. Posterior scleritis: The red shading is at the back part of the sclera. The text notes this is rarer, can be equally painful, but may occur with or without visible eye redness.
