🔬 What Causes This?

Stevens-Johnson Syndrome is a rare, severe reaction — usually to medication (over 80% of cases, including common pain relievers) or infection — that causes the skin and mucous membranes, including the eyes, to blister and shed. Ocular involvement occurs in 60–90% of cases, and dry eye is the most common long-term consequence, caused by damage to tear-producing glands and instability of the tear film.

✅ Treatment Approaches

✓ Corticosteroid eye drops started early to reduce inflammation and long-term scarring
✓ Umbilical cord serum eye drops — shown to improve chronic dry eye symptoms and signs
✓ Cyclosporine eye drops for ongoing inflammation control
✓ Amniotic membrane grafting for severe ocular surface damage
✓ IV immunoglobulin or IV steroids in the acute phase of SJS
