At Boreing Vision Clinic, we understand how uncomfortable and concerning eye infections can be. Whether it's redness, itching, discharge, or blurred vision, an eye infection can interfere with your daily life and may even threaten your long-term eye health if left untreated. Conveniently located in Lake Charles, LA, our clinic offers expert diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of eye infections using state-of-the-art technology and compassionate care.
An eye infection occurs when harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, or fungi invade the eye or the surrounding tissue. Infections can affect different parts of the eye, including the eyelids (blepharitis), the conjunctiva (conjunctivitis), the cornea (keratitis), or the inner eye structures in more severe cases.
Common symptoms of an eye infection include:
If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to see an eye doctor right away to prevent complications and start proper treatment.
At Boreing Vision Clinic, we diagnose and treat all major types of eye infections, including:
One of the most common and contagious eye infections, conjunctivitis affects the conjunctiva — the thin membrane that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It can be viral, bacterial, or allergic in nature. Prompt treatment helps reduce discomfort and prevent the spread to others.
A stye is a painful, red bump near the edge of the eyelid, usually caused by a bacterial infection of an oil gland. Styes often resolve on their own, but persistent or recurrent styes may require medical treatment.
Blepharitis is inflammation of the eyelids, often linked to bacterial buildup, skin conditions, or malfunctioning oil glands. Chronic blepharitis can cause discomfort and recurring infections if not managed properly.
This is a serious infection of the cornea that can result from injury, improper contact lens use, or exposure to contaminated water. Keratitis requires immediate treatment to avoid vision loss.
Uveitis refers to inflammation of the uvea — the middle layer of the eye. It can be associated with infections, autoimmune diseases, or eye trauma and requires urgent care to protect your vision.
