Treatment of Episcleritis
Sometimes corticosteroid eye drops or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) by mouth Treatment of episcleritis is often unnecessary. Eye drops that constrict blood vessels of the eye, such astetrahydrozoline, can temporarily decrease the redness. However, these drops should be used only on special occasions because regular use leads to even more redness (called a rebound effect). To treat an attack, corticosteroid eye drops or a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory NSAID taken by mouth can be used to make symptoms go away more quickly.
