Allergic conjunctivitis: inflammation of the conjunctiva,the delicate mucous membrane covering the eye,due to irritation from an unknown external agent. The conjunctiva becomes red,swollen & may discharge water or pus. Conjunctivitis is caused by bacterial infection,allergy,or by physical or chemical irritants. Bacterial infections respond to antibiotic eye drops. Uncomplicated conjunctivitis is generally not serious & does not usually affect vision | |
