Episcleritis is an inflammatory condition of the episclera (the connective tissue between the conjunctiva and sclera in the eye). This type of eye inflammation, while bothersome and mildly uncomfortable, usually looks worse than it is and is usually not considered serious. In fact, episcleritis usually disappears within 1 to 2 weeks without any medical treatment. Statistically, women are more affected by episcleritis than men, and it characteristically occurs in people who are in their 30's and 40's. Episcleritis can sometimes develop into a recurrent problem, and in rare cases, may even develop into scleritis.
