Store Understand your MSDS with the MS-Demystifier Search ALL our MSDS info Conjunctivitis Definition Conjunctivitis (also known as pink eye because the white part of the eye becomes pink) is inflammation (swelling) of the mucous membrane lining the eye (the conjunctiva). This is often accompanied by itching and watery eyes and sometimes blurred vision, eye pain and sensitivity to light. This inflammation can be caused by physical injury, allergies, or chemical exposure, but is most commonly caused by bacterial or viral infection. These infections can be highly contagious and spread rapidly among schoolchildren or families. Bacterial conjunctivitis can be treated with antibiotic eye drops prescribed by a physician whereas viral conjunctivitis usually clears up on its own if strict hygiene is followed. Get your emergency eye wash fountains, warning signs and more at Safety Emporium MSDS Relevance Exposure to chemicals that irritate the eyes (such as lachrymators ) can cause conjunctivitis or make existing conjunctivitis worse. Seek medical treatment if the condition does not clear up on its own.

Or visit Novartis Ophthalmics' specific AMD website at www.visudyne.com Age related macular degeneration or AMD is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss for people over the age of 60. It is estimated that 2.5 million people in developed countries will suffer vision loss from this disorder and that there are approximately 200,000 new cases diagnosed every year. The macula is the small portion of the retina located at the center of this light sensitive lining at the back of the eye. Light rays from objects that we are looking at come to a focus on the retina and are converted into electrical impulses, which are then sent to the brain. The macula is responsible for sharp straight- ahead vision necessary for functions such as reading, driving a car and recognizing faces.

Allergies to ragweed and other pollens cause millions of Americans discomfort. Pollens are often the culprits behind allergic eye irritation, but there are other causes too. Allergic reactions to drugs, for example, may cause the eyes to itch and swell. The eyelids and the conjunctive are the ones easily affected in an allergic reaction. The conjunctiva is a membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and extends over the front of the white part of the eye (sclera). Inflammation of the conjunctive caused by an allergy is called allergic conjunctivitis. What is an allergy? An allergy is the body's reaction to a substance that it recognizes as "foreign" and wants to get rid of. As such, allergic reactions are an important part of the body's immune defense system. When you are allergic to something, your body's defenses react and produce potent chemicals such as histamine. Histamine is primarily responsible for watery, itchy eyes and many other typical allergic symptoms.

115. Conjunctiva London Place Eye Centre, your no touch laser vision correction centre. http://www.lasereye.com/conjuc.htm

Conjunctiva The conjunctiva is a membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and extends over the front of the white part of the eye. It produces mucus, a clear viscous fluid that lubricates the eyeball, as well as some tears, which help keep the eye clean. Most tears, however, are produced by the lacrimal glands. A lacrimal gland lies at the upper outer corner of each orbit and spreads a smooth layer of mucus and tears over the eye each time a person blinks. After a person blinks, the fluid spreads evenly over the eye then flows into tiny canals in the lids. These canals lead to the lacrimal sac, a pouch at the lower inner corner of each orbit. From the lacrimal sac, the mucus and tears drain through a passage into the nose. Back to the Introduction.
