Inflammation of the eyeball or conjunctiva.
Ophthalmia neonatorum (`of the newborn') is
an acute inflammation of a baby's eyes at
birth with the organism of gonorrhoea caught
from the mother. Sympathetic ophthalmia is
the diffuse inflammation of the sound eye
that is apt to follow septic inflammation of
the other.
