Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva. It is the most common eye disease, easily recognizable by the redness that occurs, justifying the nickname "pink eye"
There are 5 major causes of conjunctivitis:
- Infection caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites or fungi
- Chemical irritation, such as chlorine and smoke
- Skin disorders, such as acne, psoriasis and Stevens-Johnson syndrome
- Systemic disorders, such as Vitamin A deficiency
- Allergies
