What is Pink Eye?
Also knowns as conjunctivitis, pink eye is a common and contagious eye infection that can quickly spread through close interactions in classrooms and playgrounds. When the eye gets inflamed due to an infection it leads to the classic symptoms associated with pink eye, including redness (hence the name), itching, burning, watering, and sometimes even swelling.
There are three main types of pink eye: viral, bacterial, and allergic. While viral and allergic pink eye can cause discomfort, it’s bacterial conjunctivitis that often raises the alarm as it’s highly contagious and can spread rapidly among kids in close quarters. It’s here that a reliable solution like Polysporin Antibiotic Eye Drops comes into play, offering fast relief of symptoms.
