Pink Eye

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is one of the more common eye infections. The cause of the infection can be anything from allergies to swimming in a pool. Since pink eye is a bacterial infection, it can be spread from person to person. In the case you do have pink eye, you will want to avoid interacting with others until the infections is under control.

Endophthalmitis

Endophthalmitis is an inflammation of the eye. This particular eye infection occurs usually after some kind of surgery. It is not that common, but can still occur and damage the eye if left untreated.

Keratitis

Keratitis is similar to pink eye but affects the cornea. When your cornea becomes infected you may struggle seeing or experience pain in your eye. You may also experience redness or a kind of swelling. Bright lights might give you headaches and blurry vision.
