Conjunctival hyperaemia is one of the most common findings in ophthalmologic practice. It is routinely described as a symptom of many ocular diseases such as conjunctivitis, uveitis, elevated intraocular pressure due to glaucoma, and ophthalmic side effects.
Is conjunctival hyperemia bad?
Although conjunctival hyperemia is an important clinical sign of ocular disease or inflammation, it is important to note that even a normal eye has a degree of hyperemia; it is more common in males than females; and the area of the nasal bulbar has the highest grading.
What is conjunctival irritation?
When the conjunctiva is inflamed, the white of the eye appears red. Conjunctivitis is the most likely diagnosis when a patient has a red eye and discharge. Irritant conjunctivitis is a non-infectious form of conjunctivitis caused by a transient mechanical or chemical insult. It can be acute, relapsing or chronic.
