What Are Eye Infections?

Eye infections are conditions caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, or parasites that affect different parts of the eye, such as the cornea, conjunctiva, or eyelids. Common eye infections include:

• Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): Inflammation of the thin layer of tissue covering the eye and eyelids, often caused by bacteria or viruses.
• Blepharitis: Inflammation of the eyelids, typically caused by bacteria or skin conditions like rosacea.
• Keratitis: Infection or inflammation of the cornea, often caused by bacteria, viruses, or fungal infections.
• Endophthalmitis: A severe infection inside the eye, often following surgery or trauma.

At Emirates Hospitals Group, we offer advanced diagnostics and treatment options to effectively address these conditions.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it is essential to seek prompt treatment to prevent the infection from worsening.

Diagnosis for Eye Infections

A thorough eye examination is essential for diagnosing the specific cause of an eye infection. Our ophthalmologists will:

• Examine the eye’s appearance and check for signs of infection
• Take a detailed medical history to identify possible causes
• Perform specialized tests, such as cultures or blood tests, to identify bacterial, viral, or fungal agents

Based on the diagnosis, a personalized treatment plan will be developed to address your condition effectively.

Recovery from Eye Infections

Recovery time for eye infections varies depending on the severity and type of infection. Most mild infections can be managed with topical medications, and patients start feeling better within a few days. However, more severe infections may require longer treatment and follow-up appointments.

Our team will provide clear instructions on how to manage the infection, reduce discomfort, and prevent reinfection. Proper hygiene practices, like avoiding touching the eyes and washing hands regularly, are crucial during recovery.
