Synonyms: ConjunctivitisBy Bjarne Lühr Hansen PhD, MD and Philipp Skafte-Holm MD, Mentor Institute
A lot of adults are infected by children with inflammation of the eye. This is especially true for parents to small children, kindergarten teachers, child-minders and schoolteachers.

Inflammation of the eye appears by the eye becoming red, painful and sensitive to light. Later, pus may appear in the eyes.
