Watery eyes or blurred vision are often simple symptoms that disappear on their own, but sometimes they can warn of problems in the eyes or other parts of the body.
Contagious eye infections often cause discharge, redness, swelling, itching, and crusting, while non-contagious types typically present with fewer distinct symptoms.
Pink eye is often bacterial and highly contagious through sharing items with an infected person, while fungal infections are less common and have a low transmission risk.
