What is Corneal Abscess??
479743
(m)\n\nThe cornea is the clear part of the eye. The outer surface of the normal cornea is covered by a thin sheet of tissue called "epithelium". A corneal abscess occurs when bacteria or fungus enter the cornea through an injury in the epithelium. The epithelium may heal too quickly and essentially "seal" the bacteria or fungus inside the cornea. The bacteria or fungus grown within the cornea and from an abscess.\n\n\nfor more details see the following website\n\nhttp://eyeclinicforanimals.com/abscess.php

do you happen to wear contacts, could be an allergy to the solution, could be just plain allergies.  Is there itching or discharge, discharge would point to some sort of infection.  If you do wear contacts, go see your eye Dr.  I had problems that started out with red eyes and it turned out my contacts  were causing ulcers on my eyes, you may need antibiotics and different contacts, I had to start wearing ones that allow more oxygen through cause the lack of o2 was causing my eyes to dry out and the contacts were rubbing ulcers.  I would definitely talk to your eye Dr.  you do not want to loose your vision.  Good Luck

that could be retinal detachment. i would definitely go to an eye specialist immediately for testing. instead of waiting for an appointment, inform them that it's an emergency and describe what you are/aren't seeing.

Conjunctivitis, inflammation of the conjunctiva of one or both eyes, characterized by redness, itching, and discharge. Several different forms of this disorder exist and, in infective cases, it may be caused by either bacteria or viruses. Similar symptoms can also occur during an allergic reaction (for example, in hay fever).\n\nBacterial conjunctivitis may be caused by Haemophilus aegyptius, which is common in warmer weather. Epidemics have been reported and treatment is normally with antibiotic eye drops. Bacterial conjunctivitis may also be caused by chlamydia. Viral conjunctivitis may be caused by adenoviruses and in children this is sometimes associated with pharyngitis (throat infection) and fever. In adults, the conjunctivitis is normally the only symptom. Another type of adenovirus is responsible for keratoconjunctivitis, which occurs in people who come into contact with dust or other small particles that cause corneal irritation. It is sometimes known as “shipyard eye”. This type of conjunctivitis may cause the cornea to become opaque and lead to impaired vision.\n\nA condition known as acute haemorrhagic conjunctivitis is caused either by an enterovirus, or by an adenovirus or coxsackievirus. Also known as Picornavirus epidemic conjunctivitis, this type of conjunctivitis was first recognized in 1969 when it appeared as a pandemic in Africa and south-eastern Asia. It is highly infectious and passes between members of families; it can also be spread at eye clinics. The redness and inflammation of the eye is also associated with bleeding (acute subconjunctival haemorrhage). This makes the disease more serious than other types of conjunctivitis as it can cause blindness in its severest form; however, complete recovery normally occurs within one or two weeks.\n\nConjunctivitis is also seen as a complication of other systemic disorders, for example, Reiter’s disease accompanied by arthritis. It may also be caused by poor care or fitting of contact lenses.

You can apply a warm compress a couple of times a day.  Other than that, there isn't much to do except wait till it goes away.  Keep your hands clean, don't rub the eye, and don't try to pick at it.  If it doesn't get better or seems to spread, see a doc because you may need antibiotic eye drops and or pills.

It is not a stye, a stye is a swollen gland at the root of eye lash , so it is on the eye lid. If you have a bump on the eye ball . where is ? is it on black portion (cornea) or white(sclera). The bump on the sclera close to cornea is mostly an inoccuous lesion called "Pingueculum" which is a mild degeneration of conjunctiva, surface layer of sclera. It is not a thing to worry about unless it becomes when it can grow onto cornea then it is called "Pterygium" which needs surgery occassionally.

Commonly known as pinkeye, conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids. It is a fairly common condition and usually causes no danger to the eye or your child's vision. The inflammation can have many causes, the most common of which are infectious, allergic, and irritant.  Since your son's eyelashes are full of a crusty discharge it is likely that the cause is bacterial and will need an antibiotic eye drop.  If you cannot get him to a doctor immediately a warm washcloth will help.  When you start on the eye drops be sure to continue using them for 3 to 5 days after his eyes clear up or else you may risk having the infection return.

It sounds like a pterigium or a pingueculum but without a visual, it is impossible to diagnose. See your local Ophthalmologist.

It might be a stye. Here is the WebMD explaination of the problem.\n\n"A stye is an infection in the tiny oil glands along the edge of the eyelid that surround the base of an eyelash. It begins as a red, tender bump, and looks like a small pimple as it develops.\n\nA stye usually comes to a head (clear or yellow fluid collects in the stye) in about 3 days, after which it breaks open and drains and heals in about a week. Though the cause of a stye is often unknown, it can develop from rubbing the eyes or using products near the eyelid that can irritate the eye, both of which can transfer bacteria to the skin and cause infection.\n\nUsually, home treatment is all that is necessary to treat a stye. This includes not wearing eye makeup or contact lenses; allowing the stye to break open by itself; applying warm, wet compresses to the eye area; and using nonprescription medications. "

it could be an ingrown eyelash; or possibly a peice of debri or something that has gotten stuck in a pore, and infected it. go to your local doctor or emergency room; they will be able to give you an ointment of sorts that will help it go away faster. if nothing else, they will usually go away on there own after not very long- days or weeks.\n\nanyway, i hope that helps!

Infections of the orbit (the area around the eye) from sinusitis do occur.  These are aggressive in nature because they are bacterial infections.  If you had an infection in the orbit (behind the eye), it most likely required surgical drainage.  If you had sinusitis and felt pressure in your eye (or both eyes), this does not mean you had infection in the eye, but is a common symptom of sinusitis.\n\nNerves do not typically get infected, and the vision change would probably either be blindness or a blind spot in your eye (same goes for the retina).\n\nVisual changes have lots of reasons, but your greatest risk is associated with the recent surgery in that eye.  There is even risk of some dangerous changes (causing a type of glaucoma) after surgery that should not be ignored.  You should see the ophthalmologist who did your cataract surgery or a different one (if you didn't like that one) to get examined.\n\nBest of luck!

Furuncle: Nothing more nor less than a "boil" with a fancy name. A boil is a collection of pus. Antibiotics are often not very helpful in treating abscesses. The main treatments include hot packs and draining ("lancing") the abscess, but only when it is soft and ready to drain. If you develop an abscess and. have fever, a long-term illness (such as cancer or diabetes) or are on medication that suppresses the immune system, you should contact your healthcare practitioner.
