H11.1: Conjunctival degenerations and deposits
Your conjunctiva have changed.
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.
Substances have been deposited in your conjunctiva. These may be substances from make-up or from eye drops. This does not usually cause any symptoms.
