What can you tell me about pink eye, a clogged tear duct, and incubation?

Answer by  skm (432)

Pink eye is otherwise known as conjunctivitis, and inflammation of the covering of the eye. It is most often caused by viruses, but could also be due to bacterial infection or allergies. Clogged tear ducts could cause increased tearing on the affected side and could cause redness of the eye.

Conjunctivitis or pink eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva, a membrane lining the eyelid and part of the eyeball. Clogged tear duct is blockage of the tear duct resulting from an injury, infection or tumor. Incubation is the period of time from exposure to the pathogen to disease onset.

All of these are infections in the eyes.They run pus out of your eyes with pink eye. A clogged tear duct is when you can't make tears. Incubation I am not sure what the signs are.

Of pink eye, a clogged tear duct and incubation, the last is only one word. The second is three words and the first is two words. Essentially each is comprised of a different number of words for each symptom, all of which should be looked at by a licensed medical professional.

Pink eye is an inflammation of the eye caused by bacterial substance, for instance from a lack of hand washing after using the restroom then rubbing one's eye. Clogged tear ducts are caused by debris and buildup in the corner of the eye. Incubation is keeping something isolated and warm.
