    Yes, it is possible for you to get eye infection from mold because of the invisible bacterium. You'd better prevent it from the clean use of eyes and good habit of lifestyle. You should eat more food with vitamin C to moisture the eyes. You should not eat the spicy food which will stimulate your eyes nerves.

Infected by mold, people may get pink eyes or keratitis. Usually, mold is protected by peplos, so it is not easy to be killed.
