The conjunctiva is a thin, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids. It helps keep the eye moist and protects it from dust, debris, and microorganisms. This membrane plays a crucial role in maintaining eye health and ensuring clear vision. When the conjunctiva becomes inflamed, a condition known as conjunctivitis occurs, often resulting in redness, itching, and discharge. This condition can be caused by allergies, infections, or irritants. Proper hygiene and care are essential to prevent conjunctivitis and maintain the health of the conjunctiva and the overall eye.
