Conjunctivitis
The conjunctiva is the thin, filmy membrane that covers the white of the eye (sclera). The conjunctiva serves to produce mucus to coat and lubricate the surface of the eye. When irritated, the fine blood vessels within the conjunctiva become enlarged, and the eye turns RED. The most common sources of eye irritation resulting in conjunctivitis are infections, allergies, and environmental irritants.
What Are Other Causes Of Red Eyes?
There are several eye diseases which also produce a red eye and which can lead to blindness unless recognized and treated. It is important to avoid confusing them with conjunctivitis. Symptoms of pain, blurred vision, or severe light sensitivity are typically not found in simple conjunctivitis but may be a signal for the presence of glaucoma, an ulcer of the eye, or an inflammation of the inside of the eye.
