Do you have House Finches or American Goldfinches at your feeders? Then sign up for the House Finch Disease Survey! The House Finch Disease Survey is an unprecedented opportunity for you to help researchers track the spread of an infectious disease in a wildlife population. The survey is easy to do: participants record the visits of House Finches and American Goldfinches at their feeders and the occurrence of diseased birds, and then send their data to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology. In doing so, they help scientists document the occurrence and spread of mycoplasmal conjunctivitis in the United States and Canada ( view map showing the prevalence of the disease since it was first observed). Your observations are needed so that we may better understand this avian disease. What do birds with conjunctivitis look like? Go to our Photo Gallery to find out. Seen a sick bird and want to report it? Join the House Finch Disease Survey. We can only officially take reports of disease from participants who submit data to us on a semi-regular basis via the House Finch Disease Survey. This is a precaution to ensure that we accurately report disease prevalence (proportion of infected birds in the population). If we take single reports of infection, then it appears that 100% of birds at that location are infected. (photos above by Phil Musta) Quick Links FAQ's Conjunctivitis Vs. Pox

These infections are especially contagious among children. Handwashing is key to preventing the spread of the virus, which is similar to the type which cause the common cold. Bacteria are an uncommon cause of conjunctivitis. Many physicians give a mild antibiotic eyedrop for pink eye to prevent bacterial conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is also caused by allergies (

Search September 8, 2005 Registration Healthcare Professionals You are in: Eye and Vision Eye Allergies Eye Allergies Overview Up to 50 million Americans suffer from the miseries of allergies, with allergic reactions involving the eyes being a common complaint. An allergic reaction that affects the conjunctiva, a clear layer of skin overlying the eyes, is commonly referred to as allergic conjunctivitis. Allergic conjunctivitis is divided into several major subtypes, but the most common subtypes are seasonal allergic conjunctivitis (SAC) and perennial allergic conjunctivitis (PAC). SAC and PAC are triggered by an immune reaction involving a sensitized individual and an allergen. Simply stated, this means that if you are allergic to a particular substance and then come into contact with it, you experience an allergic reaction (eg, itching, sneezing). Although it frequently occurs, allergic conjunctivitis is most commonly seen in areas with high seasonal allergens.

Dr. Reddy's Pediatric Office on the Web TM Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye) Conjunctivitis, or "pink eye", is an irritation of the eye specifically, of the "conjunctiva" (singular; "conjunctivae" is the plural), which is the clear membrane that covers the eyeball and the inside of the eyelids. The conjunctivae protect the eyeballs from dust, dirt, and chemical irritants, but they themselves can become inflamed or infected. There are many ways your eyes can become irritated. Often, something floating in the air can bother your eyes: these include smoke and dust, which irritate the eyes directly, or airborne allergens such as plant pollens and animal dander. Chemical vapours in the air can also irritate the eyes, as you've noticed if you cry when you chop onions. Your eyes can also be irritated by bacterial or viral infections. Many common viruses, including the flu and adenoviruses , irritate the eyes as well as make you feel lousy in other ways. Bacteria can also infect the eye; bacterial conjunctivitis is often more serious than viral, but we can treat bacterial conjunctivitis with antibiotic eyedrops. Often, though, bacterial conjunctivitis improves in 4-5 days even without antibiotics.

Go to PDF Version Conjunctivitis INTRODUCTION Conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye," is an inflammation of the membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelid. There are four main causes of conjunctivitis. One cause involves the introduction of either bacterial or viral microorganisms into the eye. These may be transmitted to the eye by contaminated hands, washcloths or towels, cosmetics (particularly eye makeup), false eyelashes or extended wear contacts. Minor conjunctivitis can accompany a viral cold or flu. Although bacterial and some of the viral infections (particularly herpes) are not very common, they are potentially serious. Both types of infection are contagious. Irritants are another cause of conjunctivitis. Offenders of this type include air pollutants, smoke, soap, hairspray, makeup, chlorine, cleaning fluids, etc. Seasonal allergic response to grass and other pollens can cause some individuals to acquire conjunctivitis. Pink eye may be more serious if you: have a condition that decreases your ability to fight infection (impaired immune system), have vision in only one eye or you wear contact lenses.

Allergic Conjunctivitis Fig 4: Allergic hypersensitivity from RGP solutions Fig 5 (left): Allergic conjunctivitis demonstrating Mag's sign. Fig 6: Pseudodendrites caused by cl solution hypersensitivity Contact lens management of the allergic conjunctivitis patient can be as vexing as that of the contact dermatitis patient, due mainly to the multitude of potential antigens. Two main strategies should prevail in refitting the allergic conjunctivitis patient - alter the lens care regimen and minimize lens spoilage. The first goal is achieved by changing the patient's lens care, preferably to a preservative free system. The second objective can be met by placing the patient in a disposable or frequent replacement contact lens. If the patient is currently wearing a disposable lens, changing to a different class of disposable lens (from group IV to group II or group I) is indicated. If recurrent allergic conjunctivitis occurs despite your best efforts, refitting the patient into a gas permeable contact lens may suffice. In the differential diagnosis of contact lens allergic conjunctivitis one must always remember that this condition can prevail in the absence of contact lens wear. Non-lens related allergic conjunctivitis should be optimally controlled prior to resuming lens wear.
