Cat eye problems can appear in any cat.  One of the most common problems is the appearance of cat eye infections.  These infections appear in cats caused by different factors, such as the presence of viruses, the presence bacteria and even the presence of fungus.

Conjunctivitis is the most common of these cat eye problems, it can be caused by a virus called Feline Herpevirus I or a bacteria called Chlamydiosis.  In the case it is viral, the treatment prescribed by a veterinarian is the use of special medicated eye drops.

Recognizing conjunctivitis involves recognizing these symptoms: eye irritation, inflammation in the eye, nasal discharge. If you suspect your cat is suffering from eye problems, you should take him immediately to the veterinarian. There are some cases where an eye infection can mean more than simple conjunctivitis.
