Conjunctivitis Symptoms
Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is a very common type of eye infection. Common symptoms include:
- Redness
- Itchiness
- A gritty sensation
- Discharge that may form a crust overnight
- Tearing
Pink eye is typically able to be treated at home with warm and cool compresses and over-the-counter eye drops. However, if you experience any of the following symptoms for longer than 12-24 hours, you should seek medical treatment as soon as possible:
- Blurred vision
- Eye pain
- Feeling like there’s something stuck in your eye
- Sensitivity to light
