Bacterial eye infections: Bacterial eye infections occur when harmful bacteria enter any part of the eyeball or surrounding tissues, including the cornea ( front surface of the eye) and lining of the outer eye and inner eyelids (conjunctiva). The common symptoms of eye infections are red eyes, pain, discharge, watery eyes, dry eyes, light sensitivity, swollen eyes, itching, and blurred vision. Anytime any person can face an eye infection, one should visit an eye doctor for an eye exam to identify the condition. Self-diagnosis can delay effective treatment and even cause permanent vision loss. Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is a common, highly contagious bacterial eye infection that generally spreads in children in classrooms and similar environments. The transparent layer's inflammation (conjunctiva) lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eyeball. It causes bacterial infection, thereby causing inflamed conjunctiva, making the white part of the eyeball look pink.
