Symptoms of keratitis generally appear within 3 to 5 days. The main symptoms experienced by patients include reduced vision, pain, and photophobia. Keratitis may lead to corneal edema. The affected area can also be covered by secretions, which compromises the cornea's transparency and results in decreased vision. Corneal inflammatory reaction is one of the common diseases in ophthalmology, and most patients present symptoms such as excessive tearing and diminished visual acuity.
