Artwork of an eye with conjunctivitis in tear drop
Conjunctivitis. Artwork of an inflamed eye with conjunctivitis contained within a teardrop. Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane that covers the eye and lines the eyelids. It causes redness, irritation, itching and a discharge from the affected eye. The most common causes are infection and allergy. Most infections are caused by bacteria or viruses spread by hand-to-eye contact. Allergic conjunctivitis can be provoked by many substances including cosmetics, contact lens cleaning solutions and pollen (hay fever). Antibiotic or antihistamine eye drops can be used to treat infections and allergies respectively

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an incredible artwork depicting the effects of conjunctivitis on the human eye. Within a delicate teardrop, the inflamed eye with conjunctivitis is beautifully captured, highlighting the redness, irritation, itching, and discharge that accompany this condition. Conjunctivitis refers to the inflammation of the transparent membrane covering our eyes and lining our eyelids. Conjunctivitis can be caused by various factors such as infections or allergies. Infections are often transmitted through hand-to-eye contact and can be triggered by bacteria or viruses. On the other hand, allergic conjunctivitis can arise from exposure to substances like cosmetics, pollen (commonly associated with hay fever), or contact lens cleaning solutions. Fortunately, medical advancements have provided effective treatments for both infection-induced and allergy-related cases of conjunctivitis. Antibiotic eye drops are commonly used to combat infections while antihistamine eye drops provide relief for those suffering from allergies. This thought-provoking artwork not only serves as a visual representation of this common eye disorder but also emphasizes its impact on individuals' health and well-being. Through Science Photo Library's expertise in capturing scientific images with artistic flair, we gain insight into ophthalmic conditions like conjunctivitis while appreciating their aesthetic value as art forms themselves.
