Fungal Eye Infections

Fungal eye infections occur when fungi enter the eye, leading to inflammation and potential damage. Commonly caused by environmental fungi or through contact lenses, these infections can result in symptoms like redness, pain, blurred vision, and discharge. Prompt treatment is essential to prevent complications, including vision loss. Diagnosis typically involves examining eye fluids or tissues. Treatment may include antifungal eye drops or oral medications. Maintaining good eye hygiene and managing underlying conditions, such as diabetes, can help reduce the risk of these infections. If you experience unusual eye symptoms, it’s important to consult an eye care professional.
