AB  - Conjunctivitis  is  inflammation  of  the  mucous  membrane  that  lines  the  surface  of  the  eyeball  and  inner  eyelids.  It  may  be  acute  or  chronic.  Most  cases  are  due  to  viral  or  bacterial  (including  gonococcal  and  chlamydial)  infection.  Other  causes  include  keratoconjunctivitis  sicca,  allergy,  chemical  irritants,  and  trauma.  The  mode  of  transmission  of  infectious  conjunctivitis  is  usually  via  direct  contact  of  contaminated  fingers  or  objects  to  the  fellow  eye  or  to  other  persons.  It  may  also  be  spread  through  respiratory  secretions  or  contaminated  eye  drops.
