10 Eye Infection Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #10: Pink Eye
The white part of our eyes is known as the sclera. This is a fibrous, elastic tissue that helps to keep the rest of the eye safe. It is usually clearly visible around the iris, which is the colored part of the eye in the center. This tissue is itself protected by a thin, transparent membrane known as the conjunctiva.
An eye infection can cause this protective lining to become inflamed, causing it to become red. With the red conjunctive on the white background of the sclera, the eyes will appear pink. This symptom should hopefully clear up once the infection has been cured.
