Conjunctivitis, or "pink eye" is an infection or swelling in the eye area that causes inflammation of the conjunctiva, giving the eye a red or pink color.
A chalazion, referred to as a meibomian cyst, tarsal cyst, or eyelid cyst is a tiny lump of the upper or lower eyelid caused by inflammation of a gland within the skin.
Diplopia is a symptom whereby a patient sees two images of one object. It can either occur when one eye is covered (monocular diplopia), or only when both eyes are open (binocular diplopia).
Dry eye syndrome is a condition in which the eyes are unable to produce a sufficient amount of tears, which can lead to irritation and redness in the eyes.
It has a number of potential causes, including ages, medications, allergies, and hormone replacement therapy, viewing or occupational habits.

Eyelid Inflammation or known as blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelash follicles. Its cause is unclear, but allergies, mites, dandruff, and certain medications may increase the likelihood of this form of inflammation.
The eyelid papilloma is one of the most common eyelid tumors and usually occurs in middle-aged or elderly patients. It is benign, painless, and carries little to no risk for growth into cancer.
It looks like a skin tag and can be solitary or multiple, smooth or rough and is similar in color to adjacent skin.
Retinal detachment occurs when the retina separates from the outer layers of the eye. If not treated early, retinal detachment may lead to partial or complete loss of vision.
A sty (sometimes spelled stye) is a tender, painful red bump located at the base of an eyelash or inside the eyelid..
Uveitis (pronounced you-vee-EYE-tis) is a swelling and irritation of the uvea, the middle layer of the eye. The uvea provides most of the blood supply to the retina.
