Conjuctivitis

Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the white part of your eye. It usually causes the following

1. Redness of the eye
2. Watering from the eye
3. Itchiness of the eye
4. Gritty feeling while opening and closing the eye

Most conjuctivitis settles down in a week.
It usually does not cause blurring if the vision. One has to suspect uveitis if the patient has redness of the eye along with blurring of the vision

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
