A Guide to pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

Pink Eye Introduction

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is a condition involving inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin, clear tissue covering the eye and lining the eyelid. It can be quite contagious and spread rapidly but rarely leads to serious consequences. If recognized and treated promptly, vision damage is highly unlikely. This article provides an overview of pink eye, including its symptoms, treatment options, and potential complications. Conjunctivitis is characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane that covers the eyelids and the eyeball. The swelling and inflammation cause increased visibility of tiny blood vessels in the conjunctiva, resulting in the characteristic pink or red appearance of the eye.
