Eye Infections and Eye Care

Eye Infections

1. Stye

A stye is an acute infection of the glands located at the eyelid
margin. There is swelling, pain, itching and redness in a small area at the lid
margin. Treatment consists of using frequent warm compresses on the eye. (Eye Infections)

2. Conjunctivitis:

Infection in the conjuctiva is called conjunctivitis. Due to
the infection the invisible blood vessels within the conjunctiva become
engorged. Inflammation of the conjuctiva causes redness, discomfort and a
discharge from the affected eye. The most common causes for
conjunctivitis are infections (in children) and allergy (in adults). (Eye Infections)

2a. Infective conjunctivitis :

Most conjunctival infection are caused by
bacteria (e.g staphylococci) and are spread by hand-to-eye contact or by
viruses associated with a cold, sore throat, or illness such as measles, viral
conjunctivitis sometimes occurs in epidemics, spreading rapidly through
schools and other groups. (Eye Infections)

2b. Allergic conjunctivitis :

An allergic response of the conjunctive may be
provoked by a variety of substances including cosmetics (mascara),
contact lens cleaning solution and pollen. (Eye Infections)

Symptoms 

All types of conjunctivitis cause redness, irritation,
itching, discharge and occasionally photophobia (abnormal sensitivity to bright light). In infective conjunctivitis the discharge contains pus and may cause
the eyelids to be stuck together in the morning. In allergy conjunctivitis the
discharge is clear and the eyelids are often swollen. (Eye Infections)

Treatment 

Warm water is used to wash away the discharge and remove
any crust on the eyelid. Infections are treated with eye drops or ointment
containing an antibiotic drug. Allergic conjunctivitis may be relieved by
use of eye drops containing an anti histamine drug. (Eye Infections)

Eye care

Eye is an important organ and it is to be taken care of.

1. Eye examination should be periodically done to determine the cause of
visual disturbance or other symptoms relating to the eye.

2. Foreign particles in the eye are very common and it may penetrate in the
eye ball. So care should be taken while removing the dust to avoid damage.

3. The retina should be periodically examined to assess conditions such as
hypertensive retinopathy for hypertension and diabetic patients.

4. Self medication should be avoided. A doctor should be consulted immediatly
if there is any sudden pain or blurry vision.
