Chronic conjunctivitis is not dry eye disease

Chronic conjunctivitis

is caused by bacteria, viruses, chlamydia and other pathogens. It usually causes foreign body sensation, burning sensation, itching, photophobia, tears and other symptoms. Dry eye is caused by insufficient tear secretion, abnormal tear dynamics, lack of mucin secretion and other reasons. It usually causes eye fatigue, dry eyes and other symptoms. The two causes and symptoms are different, not the same disease.

If you want to determine chronic conjunctivitis or dry eye, you can go to the hospital ophthalmology department for cytological examination, etiological examination, immunological examination, etc. to make a clear diagnosis.
