Overview
Conjunctivitis may be classified based on the duration of symptoms into hyperacute, acute, and chronic.[1][2] Additionally, based on the causality of the inflammation and age group, conjunctivitis may be classified into infective conjunctivitis (bacterial and viral), neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum), allergic conjunctivitis, Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome), and superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis.[3][4]
Classification
Based on the duration of symptoms, conjunctivitis may be classified into hyperacute, acute (less than 3 weeks), and chronic (greater than 3 weeks).
According to the etiology or age group, conjunctivitis may be classified into:[5][6][7] [8]
- Infective conjunctivitis
- Neonatal conjunctivitis (ophthalmia neonatorum)
- Allergic conjunctivitis
- Seasonal allergic conjunctivitis
- Perennial allergic conjunctivitis
- Vernal keratoconjunctivitis
- Atopic keratoconjunctivitis
- Giant papillary conjunctivitis
- Keratoconjunctivitis sicca (dry eye syndrome)
- Superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis (SLK)
