There is no difference in age for predilection or incidence of concretions, due to the causes of conjunctivitis, aging, and even congenital factor. For statistical purposes Conjunctival Concretion is classified under the World Health Organization's ICD-10 category of H11.129 [ 1 ] and the ICD-11 category of 9A61.6.

[2] Adenoviruses are the most common viruses causing an inflamed throat. [16] 75% of conjunctivitis cases are due to adenovirus infection. [13]
Palpebral form- Usually upper tarsal conjunctiva of both the eyes is involved. Typical lesion is characterized by the presence of hard, flat-topped papillae arranged in cobblestone or pavement stone fashion. In severe cases papillae undergo hypertrophy to produce cauliflower-like excrescences of 'giant papillae'.
Generally, conjunctivitis does not affect the pupils. With acute angle-closure glaucoma , the pupil is generally fixed in mid-position, oval, and responds sluggishly to light, if at all. Shallow anterior chamber depth may indicate a predisposition to one form of glaucoma (narrow angle) but requires slit-lamp examination or other special ...
Conjunctival suffusion is an eye finding occurring early in leptospirosis, which is caused by Leptospira interrogans.Conjunctival suffusion is characterized by redness of the conjunctiva that resembles conjunctivitis, but it does not involve inflammatory exudates. [1]
The syndrome is marked by the appearance of characteristic lesions, known as phlyctenules, on the cornea and/or conjunctiva.These usually manifest as small (1 - 3 [1] or 1 - 4 [2] mm) raised nodules, pinkish-white or yellow in color, which may ulcerate (or, more rarely, necrose) and are often surrounded by dilated blood vessels.
In mild disease, patients present with eyelid retraction. In fact, upper eyelid retraction is the most common ocular sign of Graves' orbitopathy. This finding is associated with lid lag on infraduction (Von Graefe's sign), eye globe lag on supraduction (Kocher's sign), a widened palpebral fissure during fixation (Dalrymple's sign) and an incapacity of closing the eyelids completely ...
