Conjunctivitis
Most forms of conjunctivitis (pink eye) respond favorably to treatment and symptom management. We can reduce the severity and frequency of your symptoms while alleviating your discomfort.
Pink eye can be caused by several different things from the environment around us to pathogens that are spread from person to person. Each unique cause of pink eye responds best to certain treatments. With a proper diagnosis, we can quickly identify the origin of your conjunctivitis and the best course of treatment.
Rapid Relief for Pink Eye and Eye Irritation
If your eyes are red, itchy, or painful, you don’t have to wait for a general doctor’s appointment or sit in an urgent care lobby. At eyeSMILE Vision, we provide specialized medical eye care to quickly diagnose the cause of your discomfort and start the right treatment immediately.
Understanding the Three Types of Pink Eye:
- Bacterial: Highly contagious and often accompanied by a thick, yellowish discharge. This type responds quickly to prescribed antibiotic drops.
- Viral: Often linked to the common cold or flu. While it must run its course, we provide supportive therapies to reduce swelling and irritation.
- Allergic: Triggered by seasonal allergens like pollen or dust. We can provide high-potency allergy drops that offer much faster relief than over-the-counter options.
Common Symptoms We Treat:
- Burning, itching, or “gritty” sensations.
- Increased watering or unusual discharge.
- Sensitivity to light and visible redness in the whites of the eyes.
