₹800
About This Test
This test identifies bacteria or fungi causing infection in the conjunctiva (the membrane covering the white part of the eye). After collecting a swab from the right eye, the sample is grown in culture and analyzed with automated systems to identify the organism and determine which antibiotics (or antifungals) the organism is sensitive to. This test is done when patients have symptoms suggestive of eye infection like redness of the eye, excessive tearing, stickiness of eyelids, eye pain or irritation etc. This test helps to identify the exact cause of conjunctivitis, guide the right antibiotic eye drops, improving recovery. It is especially important in contact lens users and post-surgical infections, where Pseudomonas and fungal infections are common.
