Overview
Conjunctivitis may be classified based on the duration of symptoms into hyperacute, acute, and chronic.[1][2] Additionally, conjunctivitis may be classified according to the causality of the inflammation or age groups into several subtypes: infective conjunctivitis (bacterial and viral), neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum), allergic conjunctivitis, keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome), superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis, and chemical conjunctivitis.[3][4]
Classification
Based on the duration of symptoms, conjunctivitis may be classified into hyperacute, acute (less than 3 weeks), and chronic (greater than 3 weeks).
According to the etiology and age groups, conjunctivitis may be classified into:[5][6][7] [8]
- Infective conjunctivitis
- Neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum)
- Allergic conjunctivitis
- Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis
- Perennial allergic conjunctivitis
- Vernal keratoconjunctivitis
- Atopic keratoconjunctivitis
- Giant papillary conjunctivitis
- Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome)
- Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK)
- Chemical or irritative conjunctivitis
