Common questions about Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis) Treatment

Have a question that's not answered here? Call our office or send us a message - we're always happy to help.

Pink eye can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or allergies. Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are contagious and spread through direct contact with infected eye secretions or contaminated surfaces.

The duration varies: viral conjunctivitis typically lasts 1-2 weeks, bacterial conjunctivitis improves within a few days with antibiotics, and allergic conjunctivitis lasts as long as the allergen is present.

Seek treatment if you experience severe pain, vision changes, intense redness, or symptoms lasting longer than a week. Early care helps prevent complications and speeds recovery.

Good hygiene, such as frequent hand washing, avoiding touching your eyes, and not sharing towels or makeup, can reduce the risk of contracting or spreading pink eye.

Most insurance plans cover evaluation and treatment for conjunctivitis. Our staff can assist with insurance questions and provide affordable care options.
