Chronic keratitis is typically caused by infections or other factors. Its main symptoms include ocular pain, photophobia, excessive tearing, and blurred vision. It results from pathogen-induced local inflammatory reactions that stimulate epithelial mucosal cells, thereby causing eye pain. Regular physical exercise is recommended to enhance immunity, and consumption of spicy or irritating foods should be avoided.
