What is a conjunctival cyst? 

A conjunctival cyst is the name given to a sac full of fluid which emerges on the surface of the eyeball, sometimes know as a retention cyst .

One of the most common eye problems is conjunctivitis , which involves the inflammation of the conjunctiva.

Conjunctivitis is also a highly contagious viral disease, meaning it is easily transmitted from human to human - therefore frequent hand washing and good hygiene is vital to prevent it from spreading. 

One the other hand, whilst a conjunctival cyst may eventually develop some of the same symptoms such as soreness and irritation, it is usually neither a cause nor result of conjunctivitis. Whilst the inflammation found during conjunctivitis may sometimes be a contributing factor to the development of a conjunctival cyst, the two conditions tend to be unrelated.
