Chemosis is the swelling (or edema) of the conjunctiva. The term derives from the Greek words cheme and -osis, cheme meaning cockleshell due to the swollen conjunctiva resembling it, and -osis meaning condition. [1] The swelling is due to the oozing of exudate from abnormally permeable capillaries. In general, chemosis is a nonspecific sign of ...
Mild conjunctivochalasis can be asymptomatic and in such cases does not require treatment. Lubricating eye drops may be tried but are often ineffective. [8] If discomfort persists after standard dry eye treatment and anti-inflammatory therapy, surgery may be undertaken to remove the conjunctival folds and restore a smooth tear film.

Viral conjunctivitis usually resolves on its own and does not require any specific treatment. [3] Antihistamines (e.g., diphenhydramine) or mast cell stabilizers (e.g., cromolyn) may be used to help with the symptoms. [3] Povidone-iodine has been suggested as a treatment, but as of 2008, evidence to support it was poor. [39]
The consequences of whiplash range from mild pain for a few days (which is the case for most people), [50] to severe disability. It seems that around 50% will have some remaining symptoms. [40] [51] Alterations in resting state cerebral blood flow have been demonstrated in patients with chronic pain after whiplash injury. [52]
