Other Eye Conditions

If your eyes feel constantly red, itchy, or watery, especially during certain seasons or after exposure to dust and pets, you may have allergic conjunctivitis. Unlike infections, this condition is triggered by allergens and is not contagious.

Unlike dust or foreign particles that irritate the eye, chemical eye injuries can cause immediate and lasting damage. Acids and alkalis, when splashed into the eye, can penetrate tissues rapidly, leading to corneal burns, scarring, and permanent vision loss if not treated promptly.

The eye is highly sensitive, and even a tiny speck of dust can cause discomfort. But when a foreign body, such as metal, wood, glass, or chemicals, enters the eye, the risk goes beyond irritation. These injuries can lead to infection, scarring, or permanent vision loss if not managed promptly
