Conjunctivitis occurs when the thin, clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and inside of the eyelids becomes inflamed. This condition can be caused by bacterial or viral infections, allergies, or irritants, leading to symptoms like redness, itching, swelling, and discharge. While it’s often a temporary condition, proper care is essential to ease discomfort and prevent spreading.​

Our Approach to Treatment

​

Our conjunctivitis treatment approach focuses on accurate diagnosis and prompt relief of symptoms. Treatment options are based on the cause of the infection:

• Diagnosis and Identification
  We conduct a thorough assessment to determine if the conjunctivitis is viral, bacterial, or allergy-related, allowing us to tailor your treatment.

• Medication or Eye Drops
  For bacterial conjunctivitis, we provide antibiotic eye drops or ointments to help eliminate the infection. Viral conjunctivitis is treated with supportive care, while allergy-related cases can be managed with specific eye drops or antihistamines.

• Guidance on Preventing Spread
  We’ll give you clear steps to prevent spreading pink eye to others, including hygiene tips and instructions on handling any discharge.
