infection is the invasion and growth of microbes in body tissues. In eye care, it commonly refers to germs affecting the eyelids, tear film, cornea, or inside of the eye. It can cause redness, discharge, pain, light sensitivity, or blurred vision. Clinicians use the term to guide testing, treatment choices, and follow-up planning.
