Common Eye Conditions:
Healthy Eye – Clear cornea, normal conjunctiva, no redness, discharge, or vision disturbance.
Keratitis – Inflammation of the cornea, often causing pain, blurred vision, light sensitivity, and a cloudy or hazy corneal appearance. Can be viral, bacterial, fungal, or due to contact lens overuse.
Pterygium – A fleshy, triangular growth of conjunctival tissue extending towards the cornea, commonly caused by UV exposure, dust, and dry climates.
Pinguecula – Yellowish, raised bump on the conjunctiva near the cornea; caused by sun exposure, dryness, and irritation. Non-cancerous.
Blepharitis – Chronic inflammation of the eyelid margins leading to redness, crusting, itchiness, and a gritty or burning sensation. Often linked to dandruff or meibomian gland dysfunction.
Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) – Inflammation of the conjunctiva causing redness, watery or purulent discharge, and irritation. Can be viral, bacterial, or allergic.
Stye (Hordeolum) – Painful, red, pimple-like swelling on the eyelid caused by infection of oil glands. Often tender to touch.
Cataract – Clouding of the natural lens, leading to blurry vision, glare, and reduced night vision. Commonly age-related.
