External Eye Disease
External eye disease includes the conditions that affect the surface of the eye and its visible structures, such as the conjunctiva, the cornea, the eyelids, and the eyelashes. It is a broad term that covers inflammation, infections, and irritation of this area.
Common symptoms: redness, burning, watering, a feeling of a foreign body, discharge, or discomfort with light.
Common causes: infections, allergies, dryness of the eye surface, and exposure to environmental irritants.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who examines the surface of the eye and the eyelids to identify the source of the discomfort. If you have persistent redness, pain, or changes in vision, the most prudent thing is to come in for a professional evaluation rather than prolong the discomfort.
