A member asked:
Is it possible for conjunctivitis to cause blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Specific types: can cause significant visual impairment but this is unlikely in a developed country, especially if treated early. Most commonly it is viral or allergic and the risk of vision issues is very low. See an eye doctor so they can diagnose the specific type of conjunctivits and treat it appropriately.
