Conjunctivitis Junction—What’s Your Function?

Making your the whites of your eyes pink! Some kids constantly pick up conjunctivitis, or pink eye—because they have extremely sensitive eyes that they rub a lot. When their eyeballs itch, nothing will stop your kids from scratching them and picking at crusty eye residue. The nature of the disease is viral and bacterial, (and is sometimes linked to Chlamydia, passed through more than sharing eye boogers) so it’s important to keep your kids from touching their eyes when they show signs of conjuncitivitis. Some parents use oven mitts to keep their child’s hands lovingly handcuffed. If their pink eye persists, the infection could be non-viral and due to allergies.

Most pink eyes are treated with antibiotics. Can allergic conjunctivitis be cured from the same treatment? Call the toll-free number listed on this screen to find out, or click on our convenient contact form to speak with an eye care aficionado. Call today!
