What Is Conjunctivitis?

Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation of the conjunctiva, the transparent and thin membrane covering the eye’s white part and the inside of the eyelids. It can be caused by different factors, like infections, allergies, and irritants. Some of the most common symptoms include tearing, redness, and itchiness.

How Do You Treat Conjunctivitis?

Treatment for conjunctivitis varies depending on its cause. Viral conjunctivitis is typically mild, and the infection usually goes away on its own. On the other hand, bacterial conjunctivitis requires antibiotic treatment to clear out the infection. Lastly, allergic conjunctivitis is managed by determining the allergens causing it and using antihistamine medications.

Refractive Errors

Refractive errors are often caused by abnormalities in the eye’s shape, affecting how light is focused onto the retina. They come in many forms, including astigmatism, nearsightedness, and farsightedness. Left untreated, they can lead to symptoms like blurred vision and eye strain, causing difficulties in performing day-to-day tasks like reading or driving.

Uveitis

Uveitis is characterized by the inflammation of the uvea, the layer behind the white part of the eye. It can be categorized into different types, particularly:

  • Iritis – inflammation of the iris, the colored part of the eye
  • Intermediate Uveitis – inflammation of the ciliary body, located between the iris and the lens
  • Retinitis or Choroiditis – inflammation of the retina and choroid, the inner layers of the eye
  • Vasculitis – inflammation of the blood vessels in the eye

Symptoms of uveitis include eye redness, eye pain, light sensitivity, glare, hypopyon (white area in the lower part of the iris), and blurred vision. People with uveitis typically also see tiny spots or cobweb-like strings in their field of vision.

Blepharitis

Blepharitis refers to chronic inflammation of the eyelids. It is often caused by bacterial infection or other related factors and can lead to redness, irritation, and itching. This condition can be classified as anterior blepharitis (affecting the outer eyelids) and posterior blepharitis (affecting the inner eyelids).
