    Anatomy

     The anterior chamber is the area bounded in front by the cornea and in back by the
    lens, and filled with aqueous.  

     The aqueous is a clear, watery solution in the anterior  and posterior  chambers.  

     The artery is the vessel supplying blood to the eye.  

     The canal of Schlemm  is the passageway for the aqueous fluid to leave the eye.  
    Anatomy

     The choroid , which carries blood vessels, is the inner coat between the sclera  and
    the retina .  

     The ciliary body  is an unseen part of the iris , and these together with the ora serrata
    form the uveal tract.  

     The conjunctiva  is a clear membrane covering the white of the eye (sclera).  

     The cornea  is a clear, transparent portion of the outer coat of the eyeball through which
    light passes to the lens.  
    Anatomy
     The iris  gives our eyes color and it functions like the aperture on a camera, enlarging in
    dim light and contracting in bright light. The aperture itself is known as the pupil.

     The lens  helps to focus light on the retina.  

     The macula  is a small area in the retina that provides our most central, acute vision.  

     The optic nerve  conducts visual impulses to the brain from the retina.  

     The ora serrata and the ciliary body form the uveal tract, an unseen part of the iris.  
    Anatomy
     The posterior chamber is the area behind the iris, but in front of the lens, that is filled with aqueous.  

     The pupil is the opening, or aperture, of the iris.  

     The rectus medialis is one of the six muscles of the eye.  

     The retina  is the innermost coat of the back of the eye, formed of light-sensitive nerve endings that carry
    the visual impulse to the optic nerve. The retina may be compared to the film of a camera.  

     The sclera is the white of the eye.  

     The vein is the vessel that carries blood away from the eye.  

     The vitreous is a transparent, colorless mass of soft, gelatinous material filling the eyeball behind the lens.
    Anatomy

     The eyeball is protected anteriorly by the eyelids.


     And contained in the orbit.
    Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
     It is the inflammation of the conjunctiva that causes redness to the white part of the eye
    and underlying eyelid (conjunctiva).
     The conjunctiva is a thin, translucent membrane lining the anterior part of the sclera and
    inside the eyelids.
     It is the most common cause of red eye.
    Forms of Conjunctivitis

     5 different types of Conjunctivitis :


     1. Bacterial Conjunctivitis- caused by bacteria
     2. Viral Conjunctivitis- often associated with the common cold, caused by the adenovirus
     3. Chlamydia Conjunctivitis- caused by sexually transmitted infections
     4. Allergic Conjunctivitis- caused by pollens, dust
     5. Reactive Conjunctivitis- caused by chemicals such as chlorine in swimming pools, shampoos
    and other foreign objects.
    Symptoms
     The symptoms of conjunctivitis are varied depending on the cause of it: Redness of the
    white area of the eye.
     Increased tears.
     Thick yellow discharge that when dries it crusts over the eyelashes.
     Itchy eyes or Burning sensation.
     Blurred vision.
     Increased sensitivity to light/ brightness of sun.
    Risk Factors

      Trauma from wind.


     Cold and heat.
     Chemicals.
     Foreign body.
    Prevention

     Proper washing and disinfecting can help prevent the spread.
