The transparent membrane that Lutenolcovers the white part of the eye is known as Conjunctiva. When this membrane gets infected and inflamed, the condition is called Conjunctivitis. This can occur in children and adults. Newborns with blocked tear ducts are also prone to this infection. It is commonly called 'Pinkeye'.
The blood vessels in the membrane become prominent and visible giving the red look. This makes the eye look red and causes itchiness. This is a highly contagious condition. It can spread by touching and sharing objects.
This infection can be viral, bacterial or due to external factors. Viral conjunctivitis is usually associated with an upper respiratory tract infection. It occurs with cold, flu or some other infection. There is watery discharge and begins with one eye being infected which spreads to the other with time.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is associated with sticky discharge or crusting near the eye. The other causes of conjunctivitis are external factors like the pollution, chemicals in shampoo, chlorine in swimming pools, dust, smoke, pollens, animal dander and other allergies. Viral and bacterial conditions are contagious but not the one caused by external factors.
The symptoms are redness, discomfort, itching sensation, discharge, tearing, sticky eye and burning sensation. An early diagnosis can prevent from spreading this infection. It usually clears up within few days.https://myshopy.org/lutenol-review/
