Eye Infection Symptoms 

​

Conjunctivitis is the most common eye infection we see here at Lifeline Urgent Care. Also known as “pink eye,” conjunctivitis is an infection or inflammation of the eye’s outer membrane. It can result from an allergic reaction or a viral or bacterial infection, and is notorious for causing unpleasant symptoms like:

​

• Noticeable redness in one or both eyes

• Eye itchiness

• A gritty sensation in your eyes

• Thick or watery discharge that can accumulate around your eyes at night

• Increased tear production 

​

When to Seek Treatment  

​

It’s important to promptly seek treatment if you have eye infection symptoms, especially if they do not improve after 12 hours. If you use contact lenses, avoid wearing them until you find out what’s to blame for your symptoms and receive treatment.

​

Thankfully, treating an eye infection is typically straightforward. Depending on the cause of your condition, your doctor may recommend special eye drops, antiviral medication, or a combination of self-care measures to improve symptoms while the infection clears. Following eye infection treatment, it’s a good idea to disinfect eyeglasses and sunglasses, wash pillowcases, and throw out previously used mascara and other types of eye makeup.
