Inflammation of the cornea (seeeye). The conjunctiva may also be
inflamed (keratoconjunctivitis). Depending on the cause,
including dryness of the eye (from low tear production or
inability to close the eye), chemical or physical injury, or
certain diseases, it may or may not cause pain, visual-field
defects (including blindness), and damage to the eye. This entry
