Understanding Pink Eye

Pink eye may be caused by bacteria, viruses, allergies, or environmental irritants. Treatment depends on the underlying cause. While some cases resolve without prescription medication, others may require antibiotic eye drops or other treatment. Your provider will determine the most appropriate care after your examination.

Why Prompt Evaluation Matters

Early evaluation helps determine whether your pink eye is contagious, whether treatment is appropriate, and whether additional eye conditions need to be considered. Prompt care may also help reduce discomfort and decrease the spread of contagious infections.

Can children return to school?

Return-to-school recommendations depend on the cause of conjunctivitis, your child’s symptoms, and the school’s policies.
