Eye inflammations

The causes of ocular inflammation are often bacteria that invade the eye and affect the conjunctiva. The consequences can be far-reaching: from watery, sometimes painful eyes to sensitive, itchy skin and reddened eyes to a strong sensitivity to light. A green-yellow mucus in the eye is also a sign of inflammation of the conjunctiva.

• If bacteria get to the conjunctiva and spread from there, eye inflammation can develop.
• If you are exposed to drafts, for example, bacteria can enter the eye through the air.
• Dry eyes, for example due to heating air, are also susceptible to inflammation.
• In addition, external circumstances can also lead to bacterial infestation, such as when dust and dirt are transmitted through the air.
• Also (soft) contact lenses or glass eyes are often the culprits when you are affected by eye inflammation.

If eye inflammation is detected and treated early, it usually subsides within a few days and does not leave any permanent damage to the eye.
