Understanding Pink Eye
Pink eye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the thin, transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids. It can result in redness, itchiness, discharge, and discomfort.
Causes of Pink Eye
Pink eye can have various causes, including:
- Viral Infections: Most cases of pink eye are viral and highly contagious.
- Bacterial Infections: Bacterial conjunctivitis can lead to more severe symptoms.
- Allergies: Allergic reactions to pollen, dust, or pet dander can cause allergic conjunctivitis.
- Irritants: Exposure to irritants like smoke, chemicals, or contact lenses can trigger irritant conjunctivitis.
