What are the most common symptoms of pink eye?

Pink eye is a condition that’s also known as conjunctivitis, and it’s the inflammation or infection of the inner lining of the eyelid/eyelids. The culprit is typically a bacterial or viral infection, but sometimes an allergic reaction can cause the condition. Pink eye may happen to babies under different circumstances. Since the condition can be quite contagious, immediate treatment is best.

The most common symptoms of the condition tend to be:

• A discharge from the eye/eyes that crusts and tends to form at night
• A gritty feeling in the eye/eyes
• Eye redness
• Teary eyes or a teary eye
• Itchy eyes or an itchy eye

For pink eye treatment, go to an urgent care clinic like ours. You should definitely come to a clinic like ours if your symptoms may be due to contact lens use.

Should you go to an urgent care clinic for pink eye?

Do I need a prescription for pink eye?

This really depends. Sometimes a prescription antihistamine or decongestant can help with pink eye, like with allergic conjunctivitis. In some cases, antibiotic eye drops are the best treatment, while in other cases, symptom relief is the way to go. Sometimes the best treatment for pink eye is relief with artificial tears or a cold/warm compress. During the period of treatment, it’s important to avoid contact lens use, if applicable. You might need to disinfect or even dispose of your current lenses and/or your contact lens case. If you believe eye makeup could have caused your pink eye, you might need to replace it.

Since pink eye has different causes, professional diagnosis and treatment is best. We provide these services here at AFC Urgent Care East Rockaway, NY, and an appointment is never necessary for our services!
