DISEASE DESCRIPTION

Bacterial eye infection

Bacterial eye infections happen when bacteria enter any area of the eyeball or its surrounding tissues, such as the cornea (the clear front surface of the eye) and conjunctiva (the delicate membrane covering the outer and inner eyelids).

Symptoms of a bacterial eye infection include red eyes, irritation, swelling, watery eyes, itching, and blurred vision.

Bacterial conjunctivitis

Bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) is a condition caused by inflammation and irritation of the mucous membrane of the eye (conjunctiva). Symptoms include red eyes, discharge, irritation, a burning or stinging feeling, and crying eyes.

The majority of mild bacterial conjunctivitis infections go away entirely without developing any issues. However, in a few severe cases, the infection might result in serious issues such as corneal ulcers in the eyes and damage to the eyes.

Your doctor could prescribe an antibiotic for bacterial conjunctivitis, which is typically applied externally as eye drops or cream. The use of antibiotics may assist in reducing the duration of an infection, reducing its severity, and stopping it from spreading. Antibiotics may be required with the release (PUS).
