What is Pink Eye?

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the thin, clear tissue that lies over the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelid. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, allergens, or irritants. Symptoms include redness, itching, swelling, and discharge from the eye.
