Pink Eye

Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, commonly presents with symptoms such as redness in the eye, itching, a gritty feeling, and discharge that may be watery or pus-like. You may also experience swelling of the eyelids and increased sensitivity to light.

Our team will evaluate your condition to determine the cause of your pink eye—whether bacterial, viral, or allergic. Treatment may include prescription eye drops or ointments for bacterial infections, supportive care for viral infections, or allergy medications. We also provide guidance on proper eye hygiene to help you recover and prevent spreading the infection.

Yes, pink eye can be contagious, particularly if it is caused by a bacterial or viral infection. To prevent spreading the infection, avoid touching your eyes, wash your hands frequently, and avoid sharing personal items like towels or pillows. Follow our guidelines on managing your symptoms and minimizing the risk of transmission.

You should seek medical care if your symptoms are severe, persist for more than a few days, or if you experience significant pain, vision changes, or sensitivity to light. Early evaluation and treatment can help prevent complications and ensure a faster recovery.
