∙ 9y ago
Some common pathogens that can infect the eye include bacteria (such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus), viruses (such as herpes simplex virus and adenovirus), fungi (such as Candida and Aspergillus), and parasites (such as Acanthamoeba). These pathogens can cause a variety of eye infections, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis, and endophthalmitis. Proper hygiene, avoiding contact with infected individuals, and seeking prompt medical treatment can help prevent and manage eye infections caused by pathogens.

What in tears act as a chemical barrier and destroy pathogens on the surface of the eye?
You have the enzyme called as lysozyme. It is the enzyme that act as a bacteriostatic substance. It adversely affect the bacteria on the surface of the eye.
Is tears a chemical barrier against pathogens?
Tears contain lysozyme, an enzyme that can break down the cell walls of certain bacteria. While tears do provide some protection against pathogens, they are not a fully effective chemical barrier. Other parts of the immune system, such as antibodies and white blood cells, play a more significant role in fighting off infections.
What tissue forms protective layer of eye?
Fibrous tissue, vascular tissue, and retina
Disease-causing organisms are known as?
Bacteria and viruses that cause illness are known as pathogens.
What are the smallest pathogens called?
Prions are the smallest pathogens

What are disease causing organisms called?
pathogens
What pathogens respond to antibodies?
Pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites can respond to antibodies produced by the immune system. Antibodies work by binding to specific antigens on the surface of pathogens, marking them for destruction by other immune cells. This antibody response is a key component of the adaptive immune system's defense mechanism against infections.
What are the smallest pathogens called?
Prions are the smallest pathogens
Organisms that cause disease are called what?
Pathogens.
How do pathogens cause infectious disease?
Pathogens cause Infectious Diseases by pathogens getting into your body and caused harm.
