PINK-EYE Pink-eye is the lay term for acute follicular conjunctivitis. This condition occurs in small epidemics and was once known as "dockyard workers conjunctivitis", when it was described amongst workmen during the Second World War. Acute follicular conjunctivitis is commonly caused by an adenovirus. The key finding is that of follicles, small bumps in the reddened conjunctiva, seen when the lower lid is pulled down, and the palpebral conjunctiva examined. Although this condition is bilateral, the follicles and symptoms are often more prominent on one side. Acute follicular conjunctivitis follows the so-called "rule of eights", eight day incubation period, eight days maximum symptoms and eight days to resolution. It takes a full month to go away. The use of topical antibiotics is not indicated if the condition is strictly viral (as indicated by the follicles). Topical antibiotics may often cause a secondary allergic reaction (conjunctivitis medicamentosa) complicating the picture and prolonging the patient's complaints. Presevative free artificial tears (e.g. Refresh) and hot compresses are indicated for symptomatic relief. The presence of copious amounts of pus is more indicative of a bacterial conjunctivitis This may be treated by broad spectrum antibiotics such as Polytrim (polymixin B sulfate and trimethoprim sulfate), gentamicin 0.3%, and tobramycin 0.3%. These will give good coverage of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. The aminoglycosides (gentamicin and tobramycin) have weak activity against Staphylococcal species and there are also resistant strains of Pseudomonas. Fluoroquinolones are also good options.

Conjunctivitis The conjunctiva — the transparent membrane that lines your eyeball and your eyelid — can become inflamed for various reasons. Most cases of conjunctivitis run a predictable course, and the inflammation usually clears up in a few days. Although conjunctivitis can be highly contagious, it is rarely serious and will not damage your vision if detected and treated promptly. Bacterial conjunctivitis , commonly known as pinkeye , usually infects both eyes and produces a heavy discharge of mucus. Viral conjunctivitis is usually limited to one eye, causing copious tears and a light discharge. Allergic conjunctivitis produces tears, itching and redness in the eyes, and sometimes an itchy, runny nose. Ophthalmia neonatorum is an acute form of conjunctivitis in newborn babies. It must be treated immediately by a physician to prevent permanent eye damage or blindness. Symptoms Burning, itchy eyes that discharge a heavy, sticky mucus may indicate

Allergic Conjunctivitis Allergic conjunctivitis causes red, watery, and itchy eyes. It is commonly caused by allergy to pollen. Eye drops are usually good at easing symptoms. What is conjunctivitis? Conjunctivitis means inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the thin 'skin' that covers the white part of the eyes and the inside of the eyelids. Allergy is a common cause of conjunctivitis. (Infection is the other common cause of conjunctivitis.) What causes allergic conjunctivitis? Allergy means that the immune system over-reacts to cause inflammation. Causes of allergic conjunctivitis include: Pollen. Most cases of allergic conjunctivitis occur in the hay fever season. Grass pollens tend to cause symptoms in early summer. Various other pollens and moulds may cause symptoms later in the summer. Other symptoms of hay fever such as a runny nose and sore throat may also occur. Allergies to animals. Cosmetics, eye make-up, and other chemicals - but this is more likely to be due to eye irritation than to a true allergy. Unknown. Sometimes the cause is not clear.

The conjunctiva is the thin 'skin' that covers the white part of the eyes and the inside of the eyelids. Infection is the common cause of conjunctivitis. (Allergy is the other common cause of conjunctivitis.) What causes infective conjunctivitis? Many viruses and bacteria can cause conjunctivitis. Most bouts of infective conjunctivitis are not serious, and soon clear. However, sometimes conjunctivitis can be more serious if the infection is caused by herpes viruses, or by a bug called chlamydia. What are the symptoms of infective conjunctivitis? Typical symptoms. One eye may be infected, but it usually spreads to both eyes. The eyes may feel gritty and water more than usual. Some soreness may develop, but it is not usually very painful. Vision is not normally affected. The eyes look inflamed, and red or pink. The eyelids may become swollen, and are often stuck together with gluey material after a sleep. Less commonly some uncommon infections can be more serious. For example, with herpes or chlamydia infections the symptoms tend to be more severe and last longer.

Conjunctivitis INTRODUCTION Conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye," is an inflammation of the membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelid. There are four main causes of conjunctivitis. One cause involves the introduction of either bacterial or viral microorganisms into the eye. These may be transmitted to the eye by contaminated hands, washcloths or towels, cosmetics (particularly eye makeup), false eyelashes or extended wear contacts. Minor conjunctivitis can accompany a viral cold or flu. Although bacterial and some of the viral infections (particularly herpes) are not very common, they are potentially serious. Both types of infection are contagious. Irritants are another cause of conjunctivitis. Offenders of this type include air pollutants, smoke, soap, hairspray, makeup, chlorine, cleaning fluids, etc. Seasonal allergic response to grass and other pollens can cause some individuals to acquire conjunctivitis. Pink eye may be more serious if you: have a condition that decreases your ability to fight infection (impaired immune system), have vision in only one eye or you wear contact lenses.

Conjunctivitis CONJUNCTIVITIS Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the inner lining of the eyelid. This condition is common in persons with hyperthyroidism. As the following study shows, conjunctivitis "appears to be a prognostic marker for severe Graves ophthalmopathy" (TED). If this is correct, not only should conjunctivitis be a serious concern to get corrected as soon as possible, but whatever nutrients help correct conjunctivitis may also be critical in correcting TED.

Kadrmas EF, Bartley GB Department of Ophthalmology, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA. PURPOSE: To study superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis in a relatively large group of patients and to determine whether a relation exists with thyroid dysfunction. METHODS: The medical records of 57 patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis who were examined between 1980 and 1993 were reviewed. RESULTS: Thirty-seven patients (64.9%; 95% confidence interval, 51.1-77.1) had objective evidence of thyroid dysfunction. Of patients with superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis and thyroid disease, 33 (89.2%) had ophthalmopathy, which in 16 patients (48.5%) was sufficiently severe to require orbital decompression. CONCLUSION: Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis is associated with thyroid dysfunction and appears to be a prognostic marker for severe Graves ophthalmopathy.

Home Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Pink eye, the common name for conjunctivitis, is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the outer, normally clear covering of the sclera, the white part of the eye. The eye appears pink in conjunctivitis because the blood vessels are dilated. Pink eye is often accompanied by a discharge, but vision is usually normal, and discomfort is mild. Either a bacterial or a viral infection may cause conjunctivitis. Viruses, which are more common and last several weeks, may cause an upper respiratory infection (or cold) at the same time. Unlike viruses, bacterial conjunctivitis is treated with a variety of antibiotic eye drops or ointments, which usually cure the infection in a day or two.

Symptoms frequently begin in one eye but usually spread to both within a day or two. The eyes are red and the eyelids are often swollen. In addition, the eyes may develop an oozing discharge that blurs the vision and may glue the eyelids together, particularly during sleep. The eyes are often itchy and sensitive to light, but usually not painful. WHAT CAUSES CONJUNCTIVITIS? Conjunctivitis is often caused by viral infections. Bacteria are another frequent cause. Allergies, injury and contact with chemicals or noxious vapors can also produce the condition. Babies may contract conjunctivitis during birth if the mother has a sexually transmitted disease such as chlamydia or gonorrhea. Newborn babies may also contract bacterial conjunctivitis.

About The Cochrane Library A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 27 October 1999. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: There are concerns regarding whether antibiotic therapy confers significant benefit in the treatment of acute bacterial conjunctivitis. Objectives: The aim of this review is to assess the benefit and harm of antibiotic therapy in the management of acute bacterial conjunctivitis. Search strategy: We searched the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register - CENTRAL (which contains the Cochrane Eyes and Vision Group specialised register), MEDLINE, EMBASE and the reference lists of identified trial reports. We used the Science Citation Index to look for articles that cited the relevant studies, and we contacted investigators and pharmaceutical companies for information about additional trials. Selection criteria: We included double masked randomised controlled trials in which any form of antibiotic treatment had been compared with placebo in the management of acute bacterial conjunctivitis. This included topical, systemic and combination (for example, antibiotics and steroids) antibiotic usage.
