Ophthalmia neonatorum is conjunctivitis that occurs in the newborn. Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the surface or covering of the eye from infectious or noninfectious causes. Any eye infection that occurs in the first month of a baby’s life can be classified as ophthalmia neonatorum. An infection has the potential to damage the delicate eye of an infant, but there are many ways these infections can be prevented. If an infection does occur, effective treatment is available for infants who develop an eye infection. |
