Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis) Treatment Online — Fast Same-Day Relief

What Is Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva — the thin, clear tissue that lines the eyelid and covers the white of the eye. It is highly contagious in some cases but usually mild and treatable.

Common Symptoms

• Red or pink color in one or both eyes

• Itching, burning, or irritation

• Watery or thick discharge (yellow or green with bacterial)

• Crusts on eyelashes (especially in the morning)

• Gritty or sand-in-the-eye sensation

Causes of Pink Eye

• Viral conjunctivitis (linked to colds and flu; very contagious)

• Bacterial conjunctivitis (caused by bacteria, may need antibiotics)

• Allergic conjunctivitis (triggered by pollen, dust, pet dander)

• Irritant conjunctivitis (caused by smoke, chemicals, or contacts)
