Fighting Eye Infections with Expert Care
Eye infections, though sometimes rare, can pose significant risks to your ocular well-being. Through comprehensive guidance, our Southbury specialists help you understand, detect, and manage eye infections, ensuring your eyes remain comfortable and your vision clear.
Understanding Eye Infections
Eye infections are caused by invading harmful microorganisms, like viruses, bacteria, or occasionally fungi, into the eye’s delicate tissues. These infections can affect various parts of the eye, including the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis or pink eye), the cornea (keratitis), or the interior of the eye (endophthalmitis). Prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to prevent complications, preserve vision, and ensure ocular health.
