Conjunctivitis Treatment

Expert Care For Your Eyes

What is Conjunctivitis?

One Of The Most Common Eye Problems

Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is
an
inflammation of the conjunctiva, the
membrane covering the inner eyelid and
the front part
of the eyeball.
It presents
with redness, itching, and watery eyes
and can have
various causes, including
infections, allergies, or irritations.

Typical Signs

Conjunctivitis can cause eye
discomfort and affect vision
quality. It
manifests with various
symptoms that often occur
simultaneously
and may vary in
severity depending on the cause.

Below is an overview of the most

common signs of conjunctivitis.

Redness of the Eye:
Conjunctivitis often
leads to
noticeable redness of the eye, as
the blood vessels in the
conjunctiva become
enlarged and
more visible.

Itching and Burning: Many
patients
experience intense
itching and a burning sensation,
leading to frequent eye rubbing,

which can worsen irritation and
slow healing.

Tearing and Mucus Formation:
The eyes may
produce excessive
tears and mucus, causing the
eyelids—especially in the
morning—to feel
sticky or
covered with a thin film.

Prevention and Care

Reducing The Risk Of Conjunctivitis

There are simple measures you can
take in
everyday life to significantly lower the
chances of
developing conjunctivitis.


Regular and thorough handwashing helps prevent the
transfer of bacteria and viruses to the eyes.


Try not to touch your eyes, especially if there are infections in your surroundings.


Proper cleaning and hygiene of contact lenses protect the eyes from irritation and
infections.


Minimize contact with known allergens to prevent allergy-related conjunctivitis.

Frequently Asked Questions About
Conjunctivitis


Conjunctivitis typically clears up within a week if properly treated. Viral infections may take
longer, while allergic reactions often subside more quickly once the allergen is removed.

2. Is Conjunctivitis Contagious?


Yes, both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are contagious and can spread through direct contact
or airborne droplets. Practicing good hygiene and avoiding touching the eyes can help reduce the
risk of transmission.


You should avoid wearing contact lenses while experiencing conjunctivitis, as this can worsen
irritation. Additionally, bacteria or viruses can adhere to the lenses, prolonging or aggravating
the infection.


Cool compresses and rinsing the eyes with sterile water or saline solution can provide relief.
However, avoid using home remedies like tea bags or non-sterile solutions, as they can increase
the risk of infection. A medical consultation is always recommended.


If symptoms persist for more than two to three days or worsen, a doctor’s visit is advisable.
Severe pain, intense redness, or vision problems require immediate medical attention.


Yes, mild viral conjunctivitis can often resolve without treatment, but it may take longer.
Seeing a doctor can help determine the cause and provide faster, more effective treatment if
needed.


Avoiding known allergens and using anti-allergy eye drops can help prevent allergic
conjunctivitis. If you are aware of your allergy season, starting preventive treatments early can
be beneficial.
