Inflammatory changes in the eyelids are of bacterial or viral origin. Bacteria affect the eyelid margins in various ways and can be the

cause of stye and chalazion. Viral conjunctivides are caused by herpes viruses. Serious eyelid diseases include abscess or phlegmon that

can both cause orbital inflammation. Conjunctivides are aetiologically and clinically varied. They are divided into infectious (bacterial,

viral, chlamydial, fungal) or non-infectious (allergic or toxic). Acute bacterial infections are characterized by discharge of pus and eye

redness. Viral inflammations are accompanied by preauricular node swelling and the cornea may also be involved. Allergic conjunctival

reactions take the form of seasonal or perennial inflammations, less frequently of atopic or vernal conjunctivitides.

Keywords: conjunctivitis, chlamydia, chalazion, hordeolum, allergy
