There’s No Need to Suffer The Symptoms of Red Eye/Pink Eye. Our Optometrists Can Help.
There are numerous things that can cause conjunctivitis (the technical term for pink eye/red eye). They range from environmental factors (dust, smoke, pollen), irritation from chemicals (shampoos, soaps, smoke, cleaning products), as well as viruses and bacteria.
Our testing will accurately diagnose you. Our Optometrists can provide you a prescription for treatment (if required), as well as appropriate next steps.
A visit to our clinic is almost always faster than waiting at a walk-in clinic or emergency room.
If the cause is bacterial, our Optometrist will prescribe antibiotics (typically as eye drops, though there are oral or topical alternatives).
If the cause is viral, our Optometrist will provide options for management of the symptoms. However, the virus must run its course.
If the cause is environmental, our Optometrist will help you identify what is causing your reaction so that you can remove the source. The symptoms should resolve with time.
It Can Be Very Contagious!
If the cause of the condition is bacterial or viral, there is significant risk of exposing others to it.
Most forms of conjunctivitis can be quickly treated. There’s no need to suffer for any longer than you have to.
