What is Conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as styes, red or pink eye, is an eye condition that can result from infections or allergies. It typically resolves on its own within a couple of weeks without the need for medical treatment. The condition often affects both eyes, leading to symptoms such as:
Redness
A burning or gritty sensation
Pus formation that may stick to lashes
Itching
Increased tear production
Causes of Conjunctivitis:
Conjunctivitis can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
Viruses, such as those causing the common cold
Bacterial infections
Irritants like shampoo, dirt, smoke, and swimming pool chlorine
Adverse reactions to eye drops
Allergic responses to common allergens like pollen, dust, or smoke, as well as reactions specific to contact lens wearers
Less commonly, fungi, amoebas, and parasites
Understanding these causes can help in identifying and managing conjunctivitis effectively, reducing discomfort and preventing spread.
