CONCLUSION

Section (B) COMMON CHRONIC INFECTIVE CONJUNCTIVITIS

Common chronic infective conjunctivitis (CIC) affects a relatively large proportion of people to a varying degree. The main symptom is irritation of the eyes. If there is a concurrent dry eye problem, there is relatively more irritation such as a feeling of sand or grit in the corners of the eyes and mild itching or burning of the eyes. If the eyes are not lacking in tears there is probably less irritation. In this case there may only be mild stinging, however, the eyes often become watery. Mucous or "sleep" in the corner of the eyes upon awakening is also common.
