Types of Eye Infections

There is no one type of eye infection, so the diagnostic stage is very important. Knowing which type of infection your child has will help Dr. Fazilat know which type of treatment is necessary for quick relief. There are several different types, encompassing viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, including:
