What
is it?
Pink Eye,
as conjunctivitis is often called, is the itching, swelling and watering
of the eyes resulting in a pink colored eye. This viral infection
affects the conjunctiva
and turns it pink. Pink eye is highly contagious to others
and often spreads through schools. It is also possible to get pink
eye in your other eye so you should take precautions and always wash
your hands to avoid the spread.
What
causes it?
Allergies,
virii, and other chemicals have been known to cause pink eye. All
it takes is one person to contract this and within days, he/she can
spread it to others easily. Sharing make-up is one of
the top causes of the spread of this condition.
Symptoms
1.
watery,
itchy eyes
2.
blurry
vision
3.

is very responsive to light
Treatment
Pink eye
can last weeks and weeks and because of its contagiousness, can limit
what you can do. In other words, try and avoid getting this by all
means. You can keep away from the suffering by keeping your hands
clean and not rubbing your eyes. If you are affected, resting and
drinking liquids are common remedies. Antibiotics really don't
help much, if at all, with pink eye.
