Talk:Episcleritis

=Rare or common?= I'm confused by these two apparently-contradictory statements in the article:
 * In the first paragraph:
 * Episcleritis is a common condition, and is characterized by the abrupt onset of mild eye pain and redness.


 * In the Epidemiology section:
 * Episcleritis is a rare disease, and its exact prevalence and incidence are unknown.

So, is it rare or common? Mark Turner (talk)     14:19, 14 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi Mark Turner,
 * I did some research on this, and it looks like episcleritis is a common condition. I added a reference to an emergency medicine textbook that confirms this.  The reference is definitely a reliable medical reference, but perhaps not as good as an ophthalmology textbook.  I did check an ophthalmology textbook (Vaughan & Asbury's), but there's no mention of the prevalence of episcleritis.  Unfortunately, the ER textbook does not specify any numbers regarding how common episcleritis is; it just says it's a common condition.  If anyone has any sources to add to expand upon this further, please do so.  Hope that's helpful, Mark.  Thanks for commenting!  Rytyho usa (talk) 22:15, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
