Overview
Lordosis
Lordosis is an increased inward curvature of the spine, most commonly in the lower back. A certain degree of inward curvature is normal, but excessive curvature can alter posture and sometimes cause back discomfort or movement problems. The condition may be related to posture, body structure, muscle imbalance, or underlying disorders.
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis, commonly called pink eye, is inflammation or swelling of the conjunctiva, the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and lining the inside of the eyelids. It may cause redness, watering, irritation, itching, discharge, or discomfort. Conjunctivitis can result from viruses, bacteria, allergies, dry eyes, or exposure to irritating substances.

Diagnosis
Lordosis
Diagnosis involves a physical examination to assess posture, spinal alignment, range of movement, muscle strength, and symptoms. The clinician may evaluate possible underlying causes involving the hips, muscles, or spine. X-rays can measure the degree of curvature and identify structural abnormalities. Further imaging or testing may be considered when symptoms suggest an underlying disorder.
Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is usually diagnosed from the eye symptoms and an examination of the eyes. The healthcare provider looks for redness, swelling, discharge, irritation, and other changes in the conjunctiva. The medical history helps distinguish infectious, allergic, and irritant causes. In some cases, especially when symptoms are severe, persistent, recurrent, or unusual, additional testing may be needed to identify an infectious cause or another eye disorder.
Prevention
Lordosis
Maintaining a healthy body weight, regular physical activity, good posture, and appropriate strength and flexibility can support spinal health. Repetitive strain and prolonged poor posture should be addressed when possible. Conditions affecting the bones, hips, or muscles should receive appropriate medical care so that preventable contributors to excessive spinal curvature can be managed.
Conjunctivitis
Good hand hygiene can reduce the spread of infectious conjunctivitis. Avoid touching or rubbing the eyes and do not share towels, cosmetics, eye drops, or other personal items that contact the eyes. Clean hands should be used when applying eye medicines or contact lenses. People with symptoms should follow medical advice about limiting close contact and preventing transmission. Avoiding known allergens and eye irritants can help prevent allergic or irritant conjunctivitis.
Risk Factors
Lordosis
Risk depends largely on the underlying cause. Factors that may contribute include obesity, poor posture, weak or imbalanced trunk muscles, certain skeletal conditions, hip abnormalities, spinal disorders, and developmental problems. The likelihood of excessive curvature also depends on age and the condition affecting the spine or surrounding muscles.
Conjunctivitis
Risk depends on the type of conjunctivitis. Close contact with a person who has viral or bacterial conjunctivitis increases the chance of infection. Children in group settings may be exposed more easily. Allergies, exposure to pollen or other allergens, dry eyes, and contact with irritating substances can increase the risk of noninfectious conjunctivitis. Newborns can develop serious eye infections from bacteria acquired during childbirth.
