B30.0: Keratoconjunctivitis due to adenovirus
Your conjunctiva and cornea have become inflamed.
The transparent conjunctiva covers the eye and the inside of the eyelids. Along with the tears, the conjunctiva forms a liquid film on the eye. Together, the conjunctiva, the eyelids, and the liquid film on the eye all protect the eye from external agents. The conjunctiva also helps defend against pathogens. The cornea is located at the front of the eye. It is transparent and curved. The curvature focuses light in the eye. This is vital to be able to see clearly.
You have been infected with specific viruses. These viruses are called adenoviruses. As a result, your conjunctiva and cornea have become inflamed.
When the conjunctiva is inflamed, the eye can become itchy and painful. The conjunctiva usually turns red and the eyelid can swell up. A lot of tear fluid often flows from the eye, and sometimes mucus or pus, too. The lymph nodes in front of the ear can swell up. When the cornea is inflamed, your vision may be worse than usual. Sometimes bright light may feel uncomfortable.
