Pink Eye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the thin, transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inner eyelids. It can be caused by infections, allergies, or irritants. Symptoms often include redness, itching, and discharge from the eye, which can be uncomfortable but is usually not serious. The condition is highly contagious when caused by bacteria or viruses, making it important to practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing. Treatment varies depending on the cause; bacterial conjunctivitis may require antibiotics, while allergic conjunctivitis can be managed with antihistamines or avoiding allergens.
