Infections and Irritations

Like any organ, the eye is subject to problems and illnesses. Many are easily remedied.

Fusarium Keratitis: Fusarium is a fungus commonly found throughout our everyday environment, including our skin.

Allergies: If you suffer from allergies, your eyes may be bothered too. They may be red, itchy, and watery and your eyes and eyelids may even be inflamed.

Watery Eyes: Watery eyes are caused by excessive tear production.

Eyelid Irritation: Irritation can occur when excess oil is produced by the glands near the eyelashes.

Foreign Objects: A foreign object could be a piece of dust, pollen, grit or something larger—and more serious.

Pink Eye: Also known as conjunctivitis, pink eye is an inflammation of the transparent membrane that lines the eyelids and eye.

Sties: A sty is a bacterial infection near the root of an eyelash.
