Conjunctivitis or "pink eye", is an inflammation of the conjunctive, which are the clear mucous membranes surrounding the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids.
The causes of conjunctivitis can be by the bacteria or a virus, or by environmental factors such as allergy to eye makeup, pollen or any other allergens.
The treatments can be made through antibiotic ointment or eye drops to eliminate infection. But a viral conjunctivitis does not respond to antibiotics, but the body's immune system can usually get rid of the infection within a week.
For the prevention of conjunctivitis, proper personal hygiene can definitely reduce the risk of contracting or spreading conjunctivitis.
