This is the most typical appearance of conjunctivitis with redness of the eye and mucoid debris on the eyelashes. Conjunctivitis makes the surface of the eye red, and it can also make the inner lining of the eyelid red, accompanied by discharge. Surface changes with redness of the inner lining of the upper eyelid (tarsal conjunctiva) may occur in certain types of conjunctivitis.
