  • Feels like there is something in the eye
  • Often it is accompanied by "cold like" symptoms, like a sinus congestion and runny nose

  • Sometimes looking at bright lights is painful

Bacterial pink eye

  • This affects both eyes
  • Pink or red eyes
  • Pain in your eye
  • Feels like there is something in the eye
  • Causes a moderate to heavy discharge which maybe yellow or greenish in color. It can form a crust around the eye during the night making it difficult to open it in the morning
