Eye flu, also known as conjunctivitis or pink eye, is a contagious eye infection that causes redness, watering, irritation and swelling of the eyes. It is most commonly caused by viral infections, although bacteria and allergies can also trigger similar symptoms. The infection spreads through direct contact, contaminated surfaces and shared personal items, especially during the monsoon season. Most cases improve within one to two weeks with proper hygiene, lubricating eye drops and adequate rest. However, severe pain, blurred vision or persistent symptoms require prompt medical attention.

Eye twitching is a common condition in which the eyelid muscles contract involuntarily, causing a fluttering sensation. It is usually triggered by factors such as stress, lack of sleep, excessive screen time, dry eyes, or too much caffeine. In most cases, the twitching is harmless and resolves on its own within a few days. Simple lifestyle changes, including adequate rest and reduced screen exposure, can help prevent recurrent episodes. However, persistent twitching accompanied by vision changes, facial weakness, or redness may require medical attention.
