It is a viral infection on the face. It brings fever and body pain; swelling on the eyelids, and small or large maculae (dots) are observed on the cornea.

Prevention and Precautions
The eyelids and the skin around the eyelids should be kept clean. Take complete rest. Use of eye drops with Vitamin C and a vitaminised diet in general is helpful in reducing the infection. Use coloured glasses. Delay in treatment can affect the vision. Isolation from others is important.
