علاج التهاب الصلبة غير الناخر

Non-necrotizing scleritis often readily responds to systemic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.

Patients with posterior or necrotizing scleritis need much more intensive and urgent therapy than those presenting with anterior non-necrotizing disease.

Both non-selective cox inhibitors (e.g., flurbiprofen, indomethacin, and to a lesser extent ibuprofen) and the more selective cox-2 inhibitors have been used successfully to treat this condition, although to date scant data have been published regarding the use of the selective cox-2 inhibitors in the treatment of scleritis.

The aim of treatment is to remove or treat the cause where possible but in the majority is to control the inflammatory process to relieve the pain and thereby reduce the damage to the eye.
