1. Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is an inflammation or irritation caused by an infection of the membrane lining the eye. Usually this disease is characterized by red, itchy, runny eyes, pain, discharge or stools, and vision becomes blurred.
This disease is caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, dirty contact lenses, or the use of long-term contact lenses. This type of eye disease can be easily contagious, it must be treated immediately by compressing the eyes with warm water, giving an ointment or eye drops according to a doctor's prescription, and make sure your hands are clean before applying the ointment so as not to aggravate the irritation.

2. Trachoma
Trachoma is an eye infection caused by Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria. These bacteria live in a dirty environment. The use of handkerchiefs or towels that have been contaminated with Chlamydia trachomatis bacteria can spread trachoma easily.
This disease is very contagious so you should pay attention to the symptoms shown from this disease such as red eyes, cornea that looks cloudy, stained, swollen eyelids and lymph nodes.
3. Vocalistic (KV) keratoconjunctivity
The vernalis keratoconjunctivity is an inflammation of the part of the cornea (clear membrane) caused by allergies. This disease is usually characterized by the appearance of pain, red, itchy, runny eyes, stiffness, and swollen eyelids.
This disease will recur again and will usually recur during the summer. Patients with KV sometimes experience damage to a small part of the cornea resulting in the appearance of acute pain

Dacryocystitis is a blockage that occurs in the channel that drains tears to the nose. This condition is affected by allergic factors that cause blockage of the canal. As a result, the eyes become red, painful, swollen, and even expel pus accompanied by fever. As a first aid, compress the eye bag with warm water then immediately see a doctor
