How We Treat It
Using video, our physician examines your eye and determines whether conjunctivitis is bacterial, viral, or allergic. Bacterial pink eye is treated with antibiotic eye drops. Allergic conjunctivitis may be treated with antihistamine drops. We also provide guidance on hygiene to prevent spread.
When to Seek Emergency Care
Seek in-person care for severe eye pain, vision changes, sensitivity to light, eye injury, pink eye in a newborn, or symptoms not improving after 3 days of treatment.
