Conjunctivitis (better knows as pink eye) is an inflamed or infected conjunctiva caused by several factors that include virus, bacteria, allergies, fungi, and other irritants. The conjunctiva is a thin membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the white part of the eye or sclera.
Conjunctivitis is a highly contagious disease. Kids can easily get them when an outbreak takes place at school. Although it's not a serious disease, patients are recommended to visit their eye doctor in Arlington, VA to treat it quickly. Permanent vision issues are rare in older children and adults but some may develop corneal inflammation and can be a serious case to newborns, for it may lead to irreversible vision problems.
Patients suffering from conjunctivitis have these following symptoms:
You need to see a certified optometrist right away when you experience a lot of yellow or green discharge from the eye, when it is accompanied with fever and chills, severe eye pain extending to the face and loss of vision. If you suspect of conjunctivitis, contact VisualEyes Optometrists in Arlington, VA to get immediate treatment.
