Cornea and External Disease

Refer to eye conditions that affect the optical surface contain dehydrated eye, blepharitis, allergies, conjunctivitis, corneal infections, and corneal dystrophies which may cause blurring of the cornea.
ALLERGIES  affecting the eyes are fairly common, particularly those linked to pollen and other environmental allergens, contact allergies, medicines, and contact lens wear. The most prominent symptom is itching but symptoms can include redness, burning and watery discharge as well. Treatment may include reducing your exposure to the allergen when possible. Topical eye drops or ointment and/or oral medications may be indicated to help treat allergic ocular conditions.
CONJUCTIVITIS or pink eye, is an irritation or swelling of the conjunctiva, which shields the white portion of the eyeball. It can be caused by allergies or a bacterial or viral infection. Conjunctivitis can be enormously infectious and is spread by contact with eye discharges from someone who is diseased.Symptoms include redness, itching and tearing of the eyes. It can also lead to discharge or crusting around the eyes.
BLEPHARITIS  Blepharitis is swelling of the eyelids. Blepharitis commonly affects both eyes along the ends of the eyelids. Blepharitis usually occurs when minute oil glands near the base of the eyelashes become blocked, causing irritation and soreness. Several diseases and conditions can cause blepharitis.
CORNEAL INFECTIONS A corneal infection or keratitis, arises when the cornea is injured by a external object, or from microbes or fungi (often from a contaminated contact lens). This can cause sore inflammation and can lead to corneal damaging. In the most severe cases, keratitis can cause loss of sight.
