Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva causing redness, irritation, and discharge. It can be viral, bacterial, or allergic, and is highly contagious. Treatment varies based on cause and may include eye drops or supportive care.
Pink eye, medically known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the thin layer of tissue covering the white part of the eye and inside the eyelids. It often results in redness, discomfort, and discharge, affecting one or both eyes.
Caused by viruses such as adenovirus, often associated with colds. Highly contagious and usually resolves without antibiotics.
Caused by bacteria like Staphylococcus or Streptococcus. Typically treated with antibiotic eye drops.
Triggered by allergens such as pollen, dust, or pet dander. Managed with antihistamines and allergy avoidance.
Results from exposure to smoke, chlorine, or other irritants. Symptoms improve with removal of the irritant.
Diagnosis is typically clinical based on symptoms and eye examination. Seek medical care if you experience severe pain, vision changes, sensitivity to light, or if symptoms persist beyond a week.
Usually resolves on its own. Supportive care includes artificial tears, cold compresses, and good hygiene.
Prescribed antibiotic eye drops or ointments can speed recovery and prevent spread.
Antihistamine eye drops, oral antihistamines, and avoiding allergens help control symptoms.
Rinsing the eyes with saline and avoiding irritants provide relief.
