Conjunctivitis, commonly known as "pink eye," is an 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 viruses, bacteria, allergens, or irritants. Symptoms include redness, itching, tearing, and discharge from the eyes. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious, particularly viral and bacterial forms, and can spread easily through direct or indirect contact. Practicing good hygiene, such as frequent hand washing and avoiding touching the face, can help prevent its spread. If you experience symptoms, seek medical advice for appropriate treatment.
