Acute hemorrhagic conjunctivitis is a contagious eye infection caused by an enterovirus. It is characterized by bleeding beneath the conjunctiva (the membrane covering the white of the eye), which turns the eye red. It is also called "Apollo conjunctivitis" from the time of the 1969 outbreak.2026-06-26

Adenovirus is a virus that can cause infection in several parts of the body, including the respiratory tract, the eyes (conjunctiva), and the gastrointestinal tract. It mainly affects children, and infections occur throughout the year. Most cases recover with supportive (symptomatic) treatment, but people with weakened immunity can develop severe pneumonia, so caution is needed.2026-06-26

Glaucoma is a disease in which the optic nerve inside the eye is gradually damaged by high intraocular pressure or other factors, causing the visual field to narrow progressively. There are almost no symptoms in the early stage, so detection can be delayed, and rather than a cure, lifelong consistent management is important. Detecting it early through regular checkups and starting treatment is the best way to help prevent blindness.2026-06-26
