Understanding conjunctivitis (pink eye)
The thin transparent layer covering the eyeball and the inside of the eyelids can become inflamed; this is conjunctivitis. It may be viral, bacterial or allergic, and the first two spread readily.

How conjunctivitis (pink eye) is treated
From your symptoms and pictures, your doctor decides what kind it probably is, gives hygiene advice so you do not infect others and prescribes drops if needed. Depending on your case, the doctor may suggest hygiene, lubricating drops and, for bacterial cases, antibiotic eye drops; antihistamine drops for allergic cases.
- Avoid contact lenses until the eye has fully recovered
- Do not share towels or pillowcases
- Clean eyelids gently with cooled boiled water on clean cotton wool
