Why Are My Eyes Always Dry?
Dry, irritated eyes can make even simple tasks uncomfortable. The good news is that dry eye is common and, in most cases, very manageable once the underlying cause is identified.
Pink eye (also known as conjunctivitis)
Pink eye (also known as conjunctivitis)
A virus causes most cases of pink eye. These cases don't respond to antibiotics. Viral conjunctivitis will disappear on its own. Have Dr. Beeve diagnose your particular case. Reduce the discomfort of conjunctivitis by applying cool compresses to the eye.
If your conjunctivitis is bacterial, follow your treatment plan. This usually involves antibiotic eye drops. In either case, you should take steps to reduce the chance of passing the problem on to someone else. Conjunctivitis is highly contagious. Follow these tips to prevent the spread:
- Don't share towels, handkerchiefs or cosmetics.
- Change pillowcases frequently.
- Wash your hands often.
