Also know as conjunctivitis, is when the clear, thin membrane of the eye becomes infected. This can be triggered by an allergic reaction, a virus, or bacteria. The most common and obvious form of this is a red or pink eye. Your eye may be itchy or hurt. Abnormal discharge, excessive watering, and in severe cases a green discharge. The best way to treat pink eye is avoidance. Be sure to wash your hands frequently. Do not share eye care products, makeup, washcloths, or even pillowcases with others. The best bet to avoid re-infection is to discard or wash all of the above immediately after the infection has been cleared. It is vital to see your doctorfor a proper diagnosis.
