But deep in the conjunctiva of course is the sclera, the other ocular structures. In this slide on the right you have a localized conjunctival inflammation. You would not likely call this a conjunctivitis. This is Viral conjunctivitis and bacterial conjunctivitis. All you need to do is use them four or six times a day topically.
Bacterial conjunctivitis is less likely in adults, more common in children.
Viral conjunctivitis is often related to an upper Ciliary injection. Now in contrast to the pattern in conjunctivitis, this is reversed. Conjunctival inflammation here is around the cornea and yet deeper in the fornix area it tends to be whiter. What this is telling you is that this is not a straightforward conjunctivitis. This is just telling you that something is different.
