PINK EYE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Sayee Dhavan*
ABSTRACT Around the world, conjunctivitis is a prevalent illness seen in ophthalmology clinics. Alarming indicators of more serious intraocular disorders, including as excruciating discomfort, blurred vision, and painful pupillary reactions, must be taken into account when treating suspected cases of conjunctivitis. In addition, patients with unusual results and a chronic course should have a comprehensive physical exam and medical and ophthalmology history taken. Conjunctival involvement in a systemic disease may be detected based on concurrent physical exam findings and pertinent history. The most frequent underlying cause of conjunctivitis is still viral conjunctivitis. Although it occurs less frequently, bacterial conjunctivitis is the second most prevalent infectious cause of conjunctivitis. includes prompt detection and accurate differentiation of conjunctivitis. Itching, mucoid discharge, chemosis, and edema of the eyelids are symptoms of allergic conjunctivitis, which affects approximately half of the population. Conjunctival irritation and discharge in a patient who has been using preservative-containing eye drops for a long time leads to toxic conjunctivitis as the underlying cause. Correct etiological distinction, prompt diagnosis, and proper treatment are all essential components of conjunctivitis care.
