Disease/Condition Glossary

Cataract surgery is done to remove the eye's natural lens that has become cloudy and replace it with an artificial lens to restore clear eyesight. Eye inflammation may occur in some patients after cataract surgery due to disruption of the blood-aqueous barrier, which causes the release of specific inflammatory mediators such as leukotrienes and prostaglandins. The pain, swelling, and redness of the eye are normal after cataract surgery and are treated using topical corticosteroids or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. 

Bacterial eye infections: The common bacterial eye infections are conjunctivitis, stye, or keratitis. Conjunctivitis (pink eye) is the infection or inflammation of the conjunctiva (white part of the eye) and the inner eyelid. It is a highly contagious infection that spread by secretions of the eye. Symptoms include redness, itchy, and discharge or crusting around the eye. A stye, a bump on the eyelid, is also a common eye condition. Keratitis, inflammation of the cornea occurs due to frequent contact lenses, injury, diabetes, or surgery.
