Causes of Pink Eye?
Pinkeye can be caused by a virus, bacteria, chemical irritation, or an allergy. Gross as it may sound, it is important to take a closer look at the discharge from your eye. Is it a greenish, yellow color? Well, then it’s probably bacterial. If it’s a clear, watery discharge, it could either be viral or caused by an allergy. Viral or bacterial pinkeye will also start in one eye and then move to the other. Two more clues can help you narrow it down even more: Since several members of your family are affected, it’s likely contagious, which would indicate viral pinkeye, as allergic pinkeye is never contagious. Has it appeared in both eyes simultaneously? That would point to allergic or chemical pinkeye rather than a viral or bacterial cause.
Conventional treatments are pretty straightforward: For bacterial pinkeye, doctors usually prescribe antibiotic eyedrops. There isn’t really any treatment for viral pinkeye; you pretty much just have to tough it out. Allergic pinkeye will improve immediately if the allergen (pollen, cosmetics, perfume, animal dander, etc.) is removed. And for chemical pinkeye, it is important to rinse the eye with water for five minutes and to immediately call your doctor.
Since some forms of pinkeye are very contagious, it is important to disinfect household surfaces, stay away from uninfected people and practice good hygiene until everybody has recovered.
