Conjunctivitis (pink eye) explained
Conjunctivitis is inflammation of the thin clear layer covering the white of the eye and the inner eyelids. Viral and bacterial types are contagious, while the allergic type is not.
Causes and risk factors
Viral or bacterial infection, often from touching the eyes with unwashed hands, shared towels or pools; allergies to pollen, dust or animals; and irritants such as chlorine or sunscreen.
Preventing conjunctivitis (pink eye)
Wash hands commonly, avoid touching or rubbing your eyes, use your own towel and do not share eye make-up or contact-lens solution.
Care and treatment for conjunctivitis (pink eye)
The doctor works out the probable type from your description and photos, explains how to avoid passing it on and prescribes eye drops when suitable. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest hygiene, lubricating drops and, for bacterial cases, antibiotic eye drops; antihistamine drops for allergic cases.
