Also known as pink eye, conjunctivitis is usually triggered by an infection or allergic reaction. According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful.
  • Steer clear of irritants

    Put away the contact lenses, and avoid windy conditions, smoke, chlorinated pools, and anything else that irritates your eyes

  • Ask about commonly prescribed treatments; antibiotics such as sulphacetamide (Bleph-10), tobramycin (Tobrex), ciprofloxacin (Ciloxin), and ofloxacin (Ocuflox) may be taken either alone or in combination with a topical corticosteroid, such as dexamethasone (TobraDex)

  • See a professional

    Visit your doctor or eye-care specialist to find out if your conjunctivitis is caused by a treatable medical condition
