Conjunctival Disorders

Conjunctival disorders refer to problems affecting the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent membrane covering the white part of the eye and inside the eyelids. Common issues include conjunctivitis (inflammation often caused by infections or allergies), pterygium (growth of tissue on the conjunctiva), and pinguecula (yellowish spots from sun exposure). Symptoms may include redness, irritation, itching, and discharge. Treatment varies depending on the cause, ranging from eye drops to surgical options. Maintaining good eye hygiene and protecting your eyes from irritants can help prevent these conditions.
