Vatinee Bunya, MD, co-director of the Penn Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Center, agrees. “Infections can affect any part of the eye and cause a variety of problems such as corneal ulcers, severe inflammation inside the eye, or damage to the retina or optic nerve,” Bunya tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “ Severe infections or inflammation inside the eye can also lead to increased eye pressure or glaucoma . If any of these are severe enough or are difficult to control or treat, they can lead to blindness or loss of the eye.”
