Eye infections can cause redness, irritation, watering, discharge, pain, and blurred vision. While many common eye infections can be managed with appropriate medication and supportive care, severe or deep infections may require specialised ophthalmic procedures to control the infection and protect vision. At Pristine Eye Clinic, our experienced eye specialists carefully evaluate the cause and severity of the infection before recommending a personalised treatment plan. For serious infections affecting the inside of the eye, advanced treatments such as intravitreal medication or vitrectomy may be considered when clinically appropriate.
At Pristine Eye Clinic, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of eye infections. Our experienced ophthalmologists use advanced diagnostic techniques to assess the type and severity of infection and recommend personalised treatment. For complex or severe infections affecting the inside of the eye, specialised procedures may be required to control the infection and help protect vision.

Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help prevent severe infection from causing lasting damage to vision.
Timely medical attention can help control the infection before it affects deeper structures of the eye.
Prompt treatment can help reduce the risk of serious complications associated with severe or untreated eye infections.
Identifying the underlying cause helps your ophthalmologist choose the most appropriate medication or procedure.
Severe intraocular infections may require specialised treatments such as intravitreal medication or vitrectomy when clinically appropriate.
Timely diagnosis, appropriate treatment, and follow-up help monitor the infection and support recovery while protecting overall eye health.

An eye infection occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi affect the eye or surrounding tissues. While many common eye infections can be treated with medicines and supportive care, some severe infections can affect the cornea or the inside of the eye and may require specialised ophthalmic treatment or procedures. Early diagnosis is important to control the infection and help protect vision.
You may have an eye infection if you experience:
Severe pain, rapidly worsening vision, marked redness, or significant light sensitivity require prompt evaluation by an eye specialist, as these symptoms can occur with serious infections affecting deeper parts of the eye.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help limit infection-related damage and protect your vision.
Prompt evaluation allows your ophthalmologist to determine the severity of the infection and begin the appropriate treatment without unnecessary delay.
Timely management can help reduce the risk of complications when an infection affects deeper structures of the eye.
For severe intraocular infections, your specialist can assess whether advanced treatment such as intravitreal medication or vitrectomy may be required.
Eye infections can affect different parts of the eye and vary in severity. While many infections respond to medication, some may require specialised ophthalmic treatment or procedures.
Corneal infections and ulcers are serious eye conditions that require prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent permanent vision loss. Management includes detailed clinical evaluation, microbiological investigations where required, intensive medical therapy, preparation of concentrated antibiotic drop & therapeutic cornea transplant to remove the infection and surgical intervention when necessary to preserve the cornea and restore eye health.
Benefits include:
Amniotic Membrane Transplantation (AMT) is a reconstructive procedure that uses a specially processed amniotic membrane to promote healing of the ocular surface. It is commonly performed for persistent corneal ulcers, chemical injuries, ocular surface inflammation, and non-healing epithelial defects.
Benefits include:
Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (SLET) is an advanced procedure used to treat Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency (LSCD). Healthy limbal stem cells from the patient’s unaffected eye are transplanted to regenerate the damaged corneal surface and restore its function.
Benefits include:
Mucous Membrane Grafting is a reconstructive procedure used for patients with severe ocular surface disorders, chemical burns, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome, or cicatricial eye diseases. Healthy mucosal tissue, usually taken from the inside of the mouth, is transplanted to reconstruct damaged eyelid or ocular surface tissues.

Have questions about eye infection treatment, procedures, or recovery? We’ve answered some of the most common questions to help you understand when specialised treatment may be needed and how timely eye care can help protect your vision.
No. Most common eye infections can be managed with appropriate medicines and supportive care. Procedures are generally considered when an infection is severe, affects deeper structures of the eye, or does not respond adequately to initial treatment.
A procedure may be recommended when an infection affects the inside of the eye, causes significant inflammation or vision loss, or requires treatment that cannot be adequately managed with topical medicines alone.
Endophthalmitis is a serious infection inside the eye and requires urgent ophthalmic evaluation. Treatment may include intravitreal antibiotics or antifungal medication and, in severe cases, vitrectomy.
Some severe or untreated eye infections can damage structures such as the cornea or retina and may lead to permanent vision problems. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment can help reduce the risk of serious complications.
Vitrectomy is a specialised eye surgery in which some or all of the vitreous gel inside the eye is removed. In selected severe intraocular infections, it can help remove infectious material and allow treatment to be delivered directly inside the eye.
A suspected severe infection, particularly one causing significant eye pain, rapidly worsening vision, marked redness, or light sensitivity, should be evaluated promptly. Serious intraocular infections such as endophthalmitis are considered ophthalmic emergencies.
