What is a Pink Eye Infection?
Pink eye, medically known as conjunctivitis, is a common and highly contagious eye condition characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva – the thin, clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and inner surface of the eyelids. This inflammation can be triggered by various factors, including viral or bacterial infections, allergens, and irritants. The hallmark symptoms of pink eye include redness, itching, tearing, and discharge, which may be clear, watery, yellow, or green. While viral and allergic conjunctivitis often resolve on their own, bacterial conjunctivitis may require antibiotic treatment.
Who Is This Treatment Right For?
Our telehealth service is suitable for patients experiencing classic symptoms of bacterial pink eye for less than 1 week.
In-person consultations are recommended for patients with Severe eye pain, Vision changes, or Recent eye surgery/injury.
What is a Pink Eye Infection?
Pink Eye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergens, or irritants, leading to redness, itching, and the characteristic pink or red appearance of the eye.
Common Symptoms of Pink Eye Infection:
Redness in one or both eyes
Itchiness or irritation
Excessive tearing
Discharge (watery, yellow, or green)
Swelling of the eyelids
Sensitivity to light
Blurred vision
Criteria for Antibiotic Treatment:
Not all cases of Pink Eye require antibiotics. Bacterial conjunctivitis, which is caused by bacteria, may benefit from antibiotic treatment. However, viral and allergic conjunctivitis do not respond to antibiotics. Our Telehealth platform ensures a thorough assessment of your symptoms, enabling appropriate treatment recommendations.
Commonly Prescribed Medications & Side Effects:
Antibiotics such as Maxitrol, Ofloxacin, Ciprofloxacin, or Erythromycin ointment are commonly prescribed for bacterial conjunctivitis. It's crucial to be aware of potential side effects, including itching, burning, or redness. Moreover, some medications may have black box warnings, emphasizing the need for caution and close monitoring.
Over-the-Counter Treatments:
For those with mild symptoms or viral conjunctivitis, over-the-counter lubricating eye drops can provide relief. These drops can alleviate dryness, redness, and discomfort. However, it's essential to consult with our healthcare professionals before starting any treatment to ensure its appropriateness for your specific condition.
Preventing Pink Eye Infections:
To minimize the risk of Pink Eye infection:
Practice good hand hygiene.
Avoid touching your face and eyes.
Do not share personal items like towels or eye makeup.
Wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying eye drops or ointments.
Maintain a clean environment, especially in shared spaces.
