Sight for sore eyes Yes, you can look, but you can’t touch. This is what you should remember when someone’s red in the eye.

ore eyes are one of those diseases that people seriously dread. and rightfully so—it is highly communicable, and causes much discomfort. “Sore eyes” is the layman’s term for conjunctivitis. This disease is when the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids, called the conjunctiva, becomes inflammed. A person with sore eyes will experience
intense eye redness, irritation, and watering. In some severe cases, the eye and eye lids become extremely swollen that the eye cannot be opened. This usually happens when the sore eyes is caused by bacteria. In these cases, the eye may also secrete discharge or pus. But most of the time, the inflammation is caused by either an allergy or a virus. Allergic conjunctivitis is fairly easy to diagnose, since this only happens when
exposed to known allergens or irritants, such as smoke, pollen, dust, animal dander, or some types of foods. On the other hand, viral conjunctivitis is usually milder than bacterial conjunctivitis, but is more easily transmitted from one person to another. A single case of viral sore eyes can quickly turn into an epidemic in the workplace. Many times, the person has been spreading the virus days before his or her eyes turn red and itchy.
