About Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is a common eye condition that causes redness, discharge, crustiness, or itchiness in one or both eyes. It’s often caused by a bacterial or viral infection and can spread to others very easily. Early treatment can help relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of passing it on to others.
