Pink Eye Causes and Treatment

Also known as conjunctivitis, this is a medical condition that can affect people of all ages, even animals. Usually it starts in one eye but the other is almost always infected because it is so contagious. Conjunctivitis is very itchy, and scratching is one of the ways it is spread.

Treatment for Pink Eye
There is no cure for viral conjunctivitis because it is viral. But doctors often prescribe eye drops to reduce the itchiness and irritation. Antibiotics can be prescribed to reduce the risk of infection. For the most part, letting the condition take its course is the best resource.
