- Опубликовано: 26 май 2022
- The conjunctiva is a transparent mucous membrane that lines the inner surface of the eyelids and the front surface of the eye globe.
Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva.
Conjunctivitis Is acute If lasts less then 4 weeks.
Chronic - more then 4 weeks.
Most common causes of conjunctivitis are: Viruses, Bacteria or Allergy.
80 % of conjunctivitis are caused by viral infection.
Viral Conjunctivitis:
Adenovirus is the virus responsible on the 90 % of viral conjunctivitis.
Symptoms include: Itching and tearing, history of recent upper respiratory tract infection,
watery discharge.
Treatment:
Spontaneous resolution of viral infection usually occurs within 2-3 weeks, so specific treatment is typically unnecessary.
Treatment can include relief with cold compresses and artificial tears.
Topical steroids aren’t recommended for viral or bacterial infections, because they can longer the infection.
Another common form of conjunctivitis is Allergic conjunctivitis.
Allergic conjunctivitis is encountered around 40 % of population. It is huge part of population, but only small proportion of these individuals seek medical help.
Allergic conjunctivitis frequently associated with seasonal allergy and asthma.
Acute itching and watering are common symptoms, but the hallmark is chemosis, Chemosis is the swelling (or edema) of the conjunctiva.
Allergic conjunctivitis worse during the spring and summer. The most frequent allergens are tree and grass pollens. Perennial allergic conjunctivitis causes symptoms throughout the year, generally worse in the autumn when exposure to house dust mites, animal dander and fungal.
Treatment
• Artificial tears for mild symptoms.
• Mast cell stabilizers (e.g. sodium cromoglicate, nedocromil sodium, lodoxamide) must be used for a few days before exerting maximal effect, but are suitable (except lodoxamide) for long-term use if required.
Antihistamines (e.g. emedastine, epinastine, levocabastine, bepotastine) can be used for symptomatic exacerbations and are as effective as mast cell stabilizers.
• Dual action antihistamine and mast cell stabilizers (e.g. azelastine, ketotifen, olopatadine) act rapidly and are often very effective for exacerbations.
Bacterial Conjunctivitis:
Bacterial conjunctivitis more common among children.
Moderately purulent discharge occurs in acute bacterial conjunctivitis.
Severe purulent discharge is suggestive of gonococcal infection.
Significant pain, photophobia or a marked foreign body sensation
suggest corneal involvement.
Acute bacterial conjunctivitis is a common and usually self-limiting
Symptoms
Acute onset of redness, grittiness, burning and discharge.
Involvement is usually bilateral although one eye may
On waking, the eyelids are frequently stuck together and may be difficult to open.
About 60% resolve within 5 days without treatment.
• Topical antibiotics, usually four times daily for up to a week but sometimes more intensively, are frequently administered. to speed recovery and prevent re-infection and transmission.
Ointments and gels provide a higher concentration for longer periods than drops but daytime use is limited because of blurred vision.
The following antibiotics are available: Chloramphenicol, aminoglycosides (gentamicin,
neomycin, tobramycin), quinolones (ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, levofloxacin, lomefloxacin, gatifloxacin,
moxifloxacin, besifloxacin), macrolides (erythromycin, azithromycin) polymyxin B, fusidic acid and bacitracin.
chloramphenicol should not be used for routine treatment because of a possible link with aplastic
anaemia.

White discharge from my eyes is what ?
hello um i have allergic conjunctivitis but what is the easy way?
If I have this, I think it’s allergic reaction. All I had was that white clear slimy thing come out of my eye, and my eye is dry. I don’t have any gunk or anything, and I’ve just been wearing my eyeglasses instead of contacts and not touching my eyes at all. I honestly don’t know what it is since I don’t have all the symptoms everybody else’s stating and Google is also no help. I know this is old, but any feedback would help.
I have bacterial and it’s so sore and there’s a lot of gunk. Is that normal? I have antibiotic eye drops
Viral gang 👇💯
Na bacterial 🤌
Bro how did you cure?? I'm suffering from viral conjunctivitis
@@prashanth2829 go to the pharmacy and ask for eye drops for conjunctivitis
Very clear, graphic and informative.
I’ve been recently diagnosed with allergic conjunctivitis and been on eye drops but not sure why it’s not gone after more than 2 weeks??
R u okay now
@@prolikereal2 yup.
Got glasses and all for astigmatism.
My caruncle is currently a reddish brown colour and my eyes have been constantly watering since June 2021. They're also extremely itchy, too sometimes to the point i have no choice but to scratch. I've been diagnosed with keratoconus recently after visting the hospital. The doctors I've spoken to keep ignoring and brushing off my main concern which is this iching and constantly watering that makes me scratch repeatedly throughout the day. My possibly blocked and damaged tear ducts and extremely itchy redding brown coloured caruncle are the issue here. I'm so frustrated and angry with the British health system they've not helped me or eveh observed my issue. I have to wipe My eye every minute otherwise, tears stream down my face. The lower part of my eyes are covered in a rash and are also itchy, wrinkly and dark now. I don't know what to do. What condition is this? I know ribbing my eyes caused the issue with my sight but, the source of the issue is the tear duct and caruncle, please help me. I've been given Alomide eye drops and before this I've been using Systane, Hyco San dual and Opticrom. Nothing is working my eyes itch, my sight is blurred with ghost images likely due to the scratching. I'm worried I'm going to be like this forever am I going to go blind? Please if you can advise me.
Tough
@@tynanlowndes1142 What is the point of trolling ay?
Are the secretions yellowish in colour? If yes then it’s due to a bacterial conjunctivitis. If not, then it might be viral. There is also a high chance that it’s due to allergies since you mentioned that it’s happening for quite awhile now. I’m no professional but I am a Pharmacy student, get a second opinion from a different doctor and ask if any antihistamines (Drugs that help w allergy and reduce itching) is necessary. In the mean time try to avoid some common allergens such as animal fur, pollens, etc and see if your symptoms subside.
My vision is blurry too!
Viral family right here 🔽
mine is allergic
I have bacterial but it’s getting better and am getting eye drops today
Eh I hate eye drops
@@Daniel-kc2hr No longer have eye drops as of yeah umm 2 months ago
I have that also. Wud it go away on its own? I don't want to use treatment
@@joelpineda2042 I think so
@@JuliansStuffRobloxI'm literally going through it right now on my right eye its my first time and im so scared to even close my eyes and sleep after my eyes were damn shut surrounding with the gunk i dont want it to happen again😭
I have bacterial but my doctor didnt give eye drops they gave me normal antibiotic tablet called phenoxymethypenicilli. Is that okay
Yes that's also ok.
@@Dr.Constantine if you had yellow discharge In the morning but later on that day it goes away and my eyes start tearing is that bacterial or viral.
Can it bee in just one eye?
yes, as long as it's not the allergic type of conjunctivitis. I've seen the pictures of severe bacterial conjunctivitis on youtube... it can affect just one eye (not bilateral 3:52) for some reason.
Hey I m 14 yrs old in my eyes both the sides are red and allergic help me what is the symptoms
Me too😬
I have bacterial conjunctivitis, I woke up but only a little bit tho
Thanks for your information and education. You mentioned something . My doctor didn't ask me , plus he gives me antibiotic with steroids for 2 weeks, plus a cream on my eye when I get to bed.....thanks for your video.

I have bacterial in one eye and it looks very scary red!!! I hope it goes away, I’m taking eye drops doctor gave me today is day 2 but looks very scary red 😭 I hope redness starts going away soon. Looks scary
I'm going through exactly the same situation and I'm really really annoyed and scared. I'm using drops quinocips, and pred forte, I got left eye infected first now my right one is also infected. How much time did it take in your case?
@@khubaibuzair9065 after 4 day of using drops the redness went away
