What Is Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)?

Pink eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva—the thin, clear tissue covering the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It can be caused by:

• Viral infections

• Bacterial infections

• Allergies

• Irritants such as smoke or chemicals

Proper diagnosis is important, as treatment depends on the cause.

Symptoms of conjunctivitis may include:

• Red or pink appearance of the eye

• Itching or burning sensation

• Watery eyes

• Sensitivity to light
