Treatment of "Red Eye" syndrome
Treatment of "Red Eye" syndrome
Redness is a common warning sign for many eye diseases. The most common cause of this symptom is infectious or allergic conjunctivitis. Infectious conjunctivitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Late diagnosis and lack of treatment of these diseases can lead to various complications, including blindness.
From the very beginning, it is necessary to carry out a differential diagnosis with other serious diseases accompanied by redness of the eye, among which should be highlighted:
- acute iritis;
- glaucoma attack;
- corneal ulcer;
- corneal injury;
- scleritis;
- episclerite.
Bacterial inflammation of the conjunctiva can be caused by any of the widespread pathogens of purulent infection. Cocci, primarily staphylococci, are the most common cause of the development of infectious lesions of the conjunctiva (it proceeds favorably). The most dangerous pathogens are Pseudomonas aeruginosa and gonococcus, which cause severe acute conjunctivitis, which often affects the cornea.
In acute conjunctivitis, the patient has difficulty opening his eyes in the morning because the eyelids "stick together". The nature of the discharge can vary from mucous to purulent. The patient is concerned about discharge on the eyelids, itching, burning, photophobia, lacrimation. Acute conjunctivitis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is characterized by rapid acute development with severe cutting pain, purulent discharge and swelling of the eyelids.
In the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis, the main place is occupied by antibiotic-containing eye drops. In acute conjunctivitis, the eye should not be blindfolded or taped, since favorable conditions for the development of pathogenic microflora arise under the bandage, and the threat of inflammatory damage to the cornea increases.
Viral conjunctivitis occurs in the form of epidemic seasonal outbreaks and is characterized by high contagiousness. There is a danger of infecting others within 10-12 days.
Allergic conjunctivitis occupies an important place in a group of diseases collectively known as "red eye syndrome". The disease usually begins gradually: itching of the eyelids increases, burning under the eyelids, photophobia, lacrimation, swelling and redness of the conjunctiva. The treatment of pollinous (allergic) conjunctivitis is long-term, it is necessary to be monitored by an allergologist, and in case of severe relapses, specific immunotherapy should be performed during remission.
Conjunctivitis requires timely diagnosis, intensive and regular treatment. Consultations of allergists and immunologists are often required.
At EMC, you will be able to undergo all the necessary examinations and treatment of eye diseases from qualified specialists with experience in clinics in Europe and the USA.

Clear recommendations from the doctor
We would like to express our deep gratitude to ophthalmologist Oksana Levkina
for the ongoing course of treatment. Although it is still ongoing, improved visibility and removal of the interfering spot can be noted. The reception takes place in a comfortable environment, with
detailed explanations during the treatment, which has a very beneficial effect on well-being and causes confidence in the results of the treatment process. Clear recommendations from the doctor help to carry out additional procedures at home quite easily and effectively. Congratulations to Oksana Alexandrovna and the involved specialists on the upcoming New Year and Christmas with wishes of new success in such an important and responsible work!
