My daughter got it from having a cold and probably wiping her nose when touching her eye when she was 3-4 months old. It’s highly contagious and will need drops or ointment from the doctor

Just an infection of the outer eye but very contagious till you get anti biotics. Then only 24 hours after you're contagious

^^ touching stuff that's contaminated if someone else had it and u touched them dirty contacts will do it having dirty hands then rubbing ur eye

It’s a general term for inflammation of the outer layer of the eye. Usually it’s caused by an infection, which could be bacteria or viral.
