Eye infections can range from annoying and uncomfortable to just plain painful. Whether you’re experiencing a stye, pink eye, or another type of infection, it’s important to treat it right away.

Our urgent care centers are open 365 days per year at flexible hours, and we even offer Virtual Visits for your convenience.

Different Types of Eye Infections

Common eye infections include:

  • Pink eye – Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an irritation or inflammation of the white part of the eyeball caused by bacteria or a virus.
  • Styes – A stye refers to a red, tender bump that appears on the edge of the eyelid.
  • Fungal infections – Pink eye and styes are more common, but fungal infections occur particularly for contact lens wearers.

Eye Infection Treatment

If you suspect you have an eye infection, it’s important to treat it as soon as possible. For immediate relief, clean your eyelid with a wet cloth using a warm or cold compress, or use over-the-counter eyedrops. Fortunately, many people with pink eye or other eye infections don’t require professional medical care. However, if your symptoms last longer than 12 to 24 hours or you experience the following symptoms, you should reach out to PhysicianOne Urgent Care:

  • Blurred vision
  • Eye pain
  • Feeling like there’s something stuck in your eye
  • Sensitivity to light

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the attention you gave me last week. My son was started on antibiotics and ear drops. Within 24 hours he began to feel better. The poor kid had been going to school in tears because he was afraid of missing any more days, but feeling (and looking) just awful! He's not been able to even think about lacrosse practice, but thanks to starting him on antibiotics, he was thrilled to return to practice today.
