Adenoviral infection of the eye can cause a condition known as conjunctivitis, or pink eye, if contracted. Symptoms of an eye infection due to adenovirus include:

* Redness of the white part of the eye
* Watery and discharge from the eyes
* Itching and burning sensation in the eye
* Swelling of the eyelid
* Increased sensitivity to light
* Blurred vision

Because adenoviral conjunctivitis is contagious, maintaining good hand hygiene is important. Avoiding rubbing the eyes and not sharing personal items will help prevent the spread of infection.
