Interstitial keratitis : ウィキペディア英語版 | Interstitial keratitis Interstitial Keratitis (IK) is corneal scarring due to chronic inflammation of the corneal stroma. Interstitial means space between cells i.e. corneal stroma which lies between the epithelium and the endothelium. Keratitis means corneal inflammation. ==Pathophysiology==
The corneal scarring is the end result of the initial invasion of blood vessels into the corneal stroma as part of the inflammatory response. Since normal corneal tissue should be avascular (no blood vessel) and therefore clear to allow light to pass, the presence of blood vessel and the infiltration of cells as part of the inflammatory process results in scarring or hazing of the cornea.〔Dr Khairul Nazri Mohammad (Articles' Author), Waterford General Hospital, IRELAND〕
