Who knew Inflammation was so Important?

In the past it was thought that inflammation was just related to many medical conditions but more and more we are finding out that inflammation is actually the cause of them. Unchecked, the inflammatory process can result in chronic conditions such as arthritis, heart disease, and dementia. Eye disorders are no exception. Dry eye, blepharitis, iritis, and age related macular degeneration are just a few conditions where inflammation plays a powerful role.
