What is pink eye (conjunctivitis)?
Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation or infection of the conjunctiva, the transparent membrane that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, or irritants.
What are the symptoms of pink eye?
Symptoms can include redness, itching, burning, watering, discharge (pus or mucus), and a gritty feeling in the eye. The eyelids may also be swollen or crusty.
How is pink eye treated?
Treatment depends on the cause of the pink eye. Bacterial pink eye is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointment. Viral pink eye usually resolves on its own, but supportive care, such as cool compresses and artificial tears, may be recommended. Allergic pink eye is treated with antihistamine eye drops or oral medications.
