Overview

The most potent risk factor for conjunctivitis is exposure to an individual infected with either the viral or bacterial form of conjunctivitis. Vaginal delivery is a risk factor for conjunctivitis in babies born to mothers infected with either Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis.[1]

Risk Factors

People who are exposed to someone infected with the viral or bacterial form of conjunctivitis are at risk for developing conjunctivitis. Additionally, babies born to mothers infected with either Neisseria gonorrhoeae or Chlamydia trachomatis are at an increased risk for conjunctivitis. During delivery, these babies can contract ophthalmia neonatorum, a form of bacterial conjunctivitis when their eyes are exposed to the bacteria in the birth canal. It must be treated immediately to prevent blindness. [1][2]

Infective Conjunctivitis

Common risk factors in the development of infective conjunctivitis include:[2][3][4]

Neonatal Conjunctivitis

Common risk factors in the development of neonatal conjunctivitis include:[5][6][7]

Allergic Conjunctivitis

Common risk factors in the development of allergic conjunctivitis include:[8][9]

  • Pollen from trees, grass
  • Animal skin and secretions such as saliva
  • Perfumes
  • Cosmetics
  • Air pollution
  • Smok
  • Spring and summer months

Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca

Common risk factors in the development of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome) include:[10][11][12]

Superior Limbic Keratoconjunctivitis

Common risk factors in the development of superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis include:[13][14]
