What Is Pink Eye?

Pink eye, medically known as conjunctivitis, is the inflammation of the conjunctiva – the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and inside of the eyelids. It is a common, often highly contagious condition that can affect individuals of all ages.

What are the symptoms of Conjunctivitis?

Pink eye may present as a red, itchy, or gritty eye accompanied by discharge, tearing, or crusting. It can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, allergens, or irritants such as smoke or chlorine. Treatment depends on the cause: antibiotics for bacterial conjunctivitis, supportive care for viral cases, and antihistamines or avoidance for allergic conjunctivitis. Proper hygiene and avoiding contact can help prevent spread.

If pink eye will go away on it’s own, why should I seek treatment asap?

You should get treated for pink eye as soon as possible because early treatment can stop it from getting worse—and more importantly, from spreading to others.

Pink eye is highly contagious, especially if it’s caused by bacteria or a virus. The sooner you begin treatment, the faster you can reduce the redness, irritation, and discharge that make this condition so uncomfortable. Plus, early intervention helps rule out more serious eye issues that might look similar but need different care. Quick action means quicker relief—and protects the people around you too.

Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis) FAQs

What are the most common symptoms of pink eye?
Redness, tearing, itching, discharge, and crusting are typical signs.
Is pink eye contagious?
Yes, viral and bacterial forms are highly contagious and require careful hygiene practices.
How long does pink eye last?
It can last from a few days to two weeks depending on the cause and treatment.
Can pink eye go away on its own?
Viral conjunctivitis often resolves without treatment, but symptoms can be relieved faster with care.
Should I go to work or school with pink eye?
It’s best to stay home until symptoms subside or a doctor confirms it’s no longer contagious.
Can a sinus infection cause pink eye?
“Yes, a sinus infection can cause pink eye. Here’s why: the sinuses and the eyes are connected through a network of tiny passages. When those sinuses become infected or inflamed, bacteria or viruses can travel through those channels and irritate the conjunctiva—the clear tissue covering your eyes. The result? Redness, irritation, and that all-too-familiar pink eye. If you’re dealing with sinus pressure and eye symptoms at the same time, it’s important to get checked out. Addressing the root cause early on helps prevent complications and gets you back to feeling like yourself, faster.
