What is epidemic conjunctivitis?

In the early stage of the disease, the patients felt that their eyes were burning, burning, photophobia and redness. They felt that their eyes were grinding and painful, and the pain was like rolling in the sand. Then, their eyelids were red and swollen, and they were afraid of light and shed tears. When they got up in the morning, their eyelids were often stuck by secretions and were not easy to open.

Some patients have small bleeding spots or bleeding spots on the conjunctiva, secretions are mucinous purulent, sometimes form a layer of gray pseudomembrane on the surface of the eyelid conjunctiva, there may be gray infiltration points on the edge of the cornea, and serious cases may be accompanied by headache, fever, fatigue, preauricular lymphadenopathy and other systemic symptoms.

Red eye disease generally does not affect vision, if a large number of mucopurulent secretions adhere to the corneal surface, there may be temporary blurred vision or iridescence (in front of a rainbow like aperture), once the secretion is wiped off, the vision can be clear. If bacterial or viral infection affects the cornea, photophobia, tears, pain will increase, vision will also have a certain degree of decline.
