Symptoms of all conjunctivitis forms may affect the eye(s) in the following ways: Swelling, Itching, Burning, Redness, Eye pain, Increased tearing, Sensitivity to light, Discharge or crusting of the eyelids. Many cases of conjunctivitis will resolve without treatment. However, it is recommended that you seek medical attention from your primary care provider or eye doctor if you experience severe or persistent symptoms of conjunctivitis (pink eye) as some cases may result in significant pain and even loss of vision. Bacterial conjunctivitis is common and highly contagious, meaning it is easily spread through contact with an infected individual or a contaminated surface. Common symptoms include eye redness, pain and a thick eye discharge. Viral conjunctivitis presents similarly to bacterial conjunctivitis but is often less severe. It is most often caused by the virus responsible for the common cold (adenovirus). Allergic conjunctivitis is caused by allergens that attract the body’s immune system. The allergen promotes histamine release which causes eye redness, itchiness, and tearing. Chemicals and other substances can immediately irritate the conjunctiva upon contact. Depending on the irritant, contact to the eye may cause immediate pain, burning and redness. […] It is important when your eyes are exposed to certain chemicals such as acid or alkaline material (e.g., bleach), you immediately flush the eyes with water for fifteen minutes and call a doctor. Any delay in treatment may worsen the condition and cause corneal scarring and loss of vision.
