Conjunctivitis is the inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane that lines your eyelid and eyeball that occurs due to bacteria, fungi, parasites, or viruses. A common eye infection is conjunctivitis, which is the inflammation of the conjunctiva or the membrane of the inner eyelid. It affects the white parts of the eye and the inner part of the eyelid. It is very contagious and is caused by the adenovirus. Another common eye infection is a stye, which is an infection that occurs when bacteria from the skin irritates the hair follicle of the eyelash, causing swelling and pain in the affected area. Eye infections can also be caused by injuries to the eye such as corneal scratches and from irritation due to chemicals in items such as makeup products.
