Eye infections may come in viral, bacterial or fungal form.

Our team of Carmel and Fishers optometrists, Dr. Ciano, Dr. Schuetz, Dr. Wilson, Dr. Iddins and Dr. Neukam are here to help you learn more about eye infections, common signs and symptoms, and options for treatment.

Pink Eye and Other Types of Eye Infections
Multiple types of eye infections affect both children and adults. While pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is the one people are most familiar with, there are a number of others as well. Some of the most common eye infections include:
- Sties: A sty is an inflammation of the eyelid, most commonly along the lash line. It manifests in a red and usually painful bump that looks like a pimple.
- Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye): This infection is caused by various viruses, and causes redness of the whites of the eye, yellow discharge and extreme discomfort.
- Corneal Ulcer: This is a small indentation on the cornea, usually resulting from infection of the viral, bacterial or fungal variety.
- Blepharitis: Another form of eyelid infection, this can also be caused by clogged oil glands.
