Infectious conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva usually caused by viruses or bacteria.
Bacteria and viruses can infect the conjunctiva.
Redness and tearing or discharge are common symptoms, and some people have sensitivity to light.
Good hygiene helps prevent the infection from spreading to the other eye or to someone else
