Insight Into Eye Infections

An eye infection is inflammation caused by microorganisms, like bacteria, viruses, or fungi. Everyday activities like touching your face with unwashed hands, using contaminated makeup, or swimming in contaminated water can introduce these microorganisms to your eyes. Eye infections can be contagious and can spread from person to person through contact with infected tears, eye discharge, or objects contaminated with the infection.

Recognizing the Signs

These infections can affect various parts of the eye, leading to a range of uncomfortable symptoms, including:

  • Redness in the eye
  • Itching or burning sensation
  • Pain in the eye
  • Swollen eyelids
  • Discharge from the eye
  • Blurred vision
  • Sensitivity to light
  • Headaches
  • Fever
  • Feeling of something in the eye
  • Excessive tearing
  • Redness in the white part of the eye
  • Crusty lashes and eyelids
