What is Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)?
Conjunctivitis or pink eye is an inflammation of
the conjunctiva. The Conjunctiva is the clear
tissue lining the inside of your eyelid and the
outer coating of your eye. This tissue offers
moisture to your eyelids and eyeballs. Pink eye
can occur in a single or both eyes at a time.
When it happens in both eyes, it tends to be due
to viral/bacterial conjunctivitis. Pink eye often
affects children the most. It can be highly
contagious and usually spreads rapidly in schools
and daycare centers. It is rarely serious and
does not cause vision loss but gives discomfort
to the patient.

Allergic Conjunctivitis
If you have conjunctivitis due to allergens like
pollens you may develop tearing, itching, and
redness in both eyes. Apart from these symptoms,
you might also have an itchy, runny nose. Its
also possible to develop an allergic type of pink
eye called Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis if you
wear hard contact lenses or soft contact lenses
that arent replaced frequently enough.
5
Viral Conjunctivitis
This is the most common type of Conjunctivitis
and may be the most contagious too. It is caused
by Common Cold Viruses. It can occur if someone
with an upper respiratory infection coughs or
sneezes close to you. It can also occur when you
have a cold virus yourself and blow your nose too
hard. This can push the infection from your
respiratory system to your eyes. They tend to
start in one eye, where they produce lots of
tears and a watery discharge from the infected
eye. Within a few days, the other eye gets
involved. Most cases of viral conjunctivitis are
mild, and the infection goes away in a couple of
weeks.
6
Bacterial Conjunctivitis
Bacterial Conjunctivitis is caused by
staphylococcal or streptococcal bacteria and it
usually infects one eye but can show up in both.
It typically occurs due to things like touching
your eyes with unclean hands, sharing makeup, or
having physical contact with someone who may also
have conjunctivitis. Your eye will put out a lot
of pus and mucus. Mild bacterial conjunctivitis
often goes away on its own without any treatment
and complications. It usually improves in two to
five days.
7
Chemical Conjunctivitis
Some chemicals may also produce Pink eyes such as
air pollution, and chlorine in swimming pools.

Ophthalmia neonatorum (Neonatal Conjunctivitis)
Ophthalmia neonatorum is a type of conjunctivitis
seen in the neonatal period (first 30 days after
birth), occurring in 1 to 12 of neonates. It
can be caused by dangerous bacteria. This, if
left untreated, may be blinding so get it treated
right away to prevent permanent eye damage or
blindness. Bacterial and viral infections are
major causes of septic neonatal conjunctivitis,
with Chlamydia being the most common infectious
agent and Neisseria being the most visually
threatening. Infants may acquire these infective
agents as they pass through the birth canal
during the birth process.

Preventive Measures for Conjunctivitis
Practicing good hygiene controls the spread of
pink eye. These include Maintain a high level
of hygiene at home, especially if one or more
family members suffer from pink eye. Wash your
pillowcases, towels, and bed sheets in hot water
and detergent. It will prevent the spreading of
the infection. Also, use a good-quality
disinfectant to clean your home and keep it
germless. Prevent sharing personal
belongings. Wash your hands thoroughly at
regular intervals. Avoid touching your face and
eyes too often. Keep more immune-boosting food
in your diet. Add green leafy vegetables and
orange-colored foods to your diet, as these are
rich in beta-carotene. These foods improve the
immune system, minimizing infections chance.
Avoid sharing and wearing eye makeup and contact
lenses.

Management for Conjunctivitis

warm compresses several times a day.? If you are
using contact lenses, you are advised to stop
