3 Types of Pink Eye

Описание: Did you know there are 3 different types of pink eye?👁️ Pink eye causes red, itchy, and goopy eyes when affected. There is bacterial, allergic, and viral pink eye or conjunctivitis.

🦠 Bacterial conjunctivitis is caused by certain bacteria and leads to eye infections. This type of pink eye is the most common in children and schools, due to how contagious it is. This type of pink eye can be treated with antibiotic eye drops.

🧬 Viral conjunctivitis is caused by a virus and is common in both children and adults. Usually, it resolves on its own without any treatment.
