Management of Conjunctivitis
Dr. Mohini Modak | Focus Eye Clinic, Thane
Conjunctivitis, commonly known as 'pink eye, ' is an inflammation of the conjunctiva that can be caused by viral, bacterial, allergic, or irritant factors. Symptoms include redness, watering, itching, discharge, and a gritty sensation in the eyes. Proper diagnosis is essential because treatment depends on the underlying cause. Viral conjunctivitis usually improves with supportive care such as lubricating eye drops and cold compresses. Bacterial conjunctivitis may require antibiotic eye drops, while allergic conjunctivitis responds well to anti-allergic medications and avoiding allergens. Maintaining good hand hygiene, avoiding rubbing the eyes, and not sharing towels or cosmetics help prevent the spread of infection. Avoid self-medicating with steroid eye drops, as they can worsen certain eye conditions. At Focus Eye Clinic, Thane, Dr. Mohini Modak provides comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment for all types of conjunctivitis, ensuring faster recovery and protecting your vision.
