The analysis

The claim asserts that viral keratitis is a contagious eye infection. Keratitis is by definition an inflammation of the cornea, and viral keratitis specifically refers to a viral infection of the cornea. Because this is a definitional medical fact about what the condition is, it represents common knowledge and does not require empirical citation.
