Q. What is conjunctivitis?
A. Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin,
transparent layer covering the surface of the inner eyelid and a
portion of the front of the eye. This condition appears in many
forms and affects people of all ages.
Q. What causes conjunctivitis?
A. The three main types of conjunctivitis are infectious, allergic and
chemical. The infectious, allergic and chemical. The infectious
form, commonly known as "pink eye" is caused by a contagious
virus or bacteria. Your body's allergies to pollen, cosmetics, ani
mals or fabrics often bring on allergic conjunctivitis. And, irritants
like pollution, noxious fumes and chlorine in swimming pools may
produce the chemical form.
Q. What are the signs/symptoms of conjunctivitis?
A. Commons signs/symptoms of conjunctivitis are red eyes, in
flamed inner lids, watery eyes, blurred vision and a sandy or
scratchy feeling in ;he eyes. With the infectious form, there may
be a pus-like or watery discharge around the eyelids.
Q. Since infectious conjunctivitis is contagious, what mea
sures can be taken to prevent spreading this condition?
A. To avoid giving infectious conjunctivitis to others, keep your
hands away from your eyes; thoroughly wash your hands be
fore and after applying eye medication; do not share towels,
washcloths, cosmetics or eyedrops with others and seek treat
ment promptly. Small children, who may forget these precau
tions, should be kept away from school, camp and the swim
ming pool until the condition is cured.
Q. Will conjunctivitis harm my eyes?
A. Certain forms of conjunctivitis can develop into a serious condi
tion that may harm your vision. Therefore, it's important to have
your condition diagnosed and properly treated quickly.
Q. How is infectious conjunctivitis treated?
A. Infectious conjunctivitis, caused by bacteria, is usually treated
with antibiotic eye drops and/or ointment. Other infectious
forms, caused by viruses, can't be treated with antibiotics. They
are fought off by your body's immune system. But, some antibi
otics may be prescribed to prevent secondary bacterial infec
tions from developing.
Q.How are the allergic and chemical forms of conjunctivitis
treated?
A. The ideal treatment for both forms is to remove the cause of the
allergy or irritation. For instance, avoid contact with any animal if
it causes an allergic reaction. Wear swimming goggles if chlori
nated water irritates your eyes. In cases where these measures
won't work, other types of prescription and over-the-counter eye
drops are available to help relieve the discomfort.
