Conjunctivitis

Postby Adam1234 » Mon 06 Feb 2012 8:56 pm

My niece and nephew both have this and I know it's very contagious so was just wondering what would happen to my eye if I got it? I had a graft 8 weeks ago.

Thanks Adam

Dear Adam,

If your graft eye should begin to show signs of conjunctivitis (red, runny, crusty, possibly increased light sensitivity), visit your surgeon or medical eye care practitioner. You want to cure the infection before the health of your graft is compromised.

All the best,

Dr. S
