It is always good to keep washing your hands regularly before you bring them in contact with your eyes. It helps in keep away the bacteria in hands.

Use a warm compress to to soothe the eyes. Soak clean lint-free cloths in hot water for allergic conjunctivitis, wring them out and place them on your eyes for 10-20 minutes. keep doing to clear pink eye symptoms.

You can use Similasan's Pink Eye Relief eye drops. You should find it in any drug store. If there is any irritation, use Acetaminophen such as Tylenol and Excedrin.

Well! It always depends on the area that you are staying and nearby hospitals would be an excellent option for eye conjunctivitis treatment. However, it is a blessing that nowadays, most hospitals have a pan-India presence or worldwide presence due to the online consultation system. Dr Basu Eye Hospital is the one that I feel is the best when it comes to treating eyes using Ayurvedic techniques.

Now coming to the most important part is which type of treatment is suitable for eye conjunctivitis. I have always been a fan of natural Ayurvedic medicine. Recently I was infected with conjunctivitis along with my whole family. While my family members could quickly get over it by following simple Ayurvedic treatment methods at home, I was the one whose symptoms got a little more aggravated. So, I had to connect with a doctor.

Viral conjunctivitis is highly contagious, so it's crucial to avoid direct contact with an affected person's eyes. The infection can quickly spread through surfaces like keyboards, doorknobs, makeup, pens, gym equipment, etc. If you find yourself around someone with viral conjunctivitis, it's best to maintain a safe distance, wash your hands frequently, and refrain from touching your own eyes to prevent the spread of the infection. Taking these precautions will help protect you and others from getting sick.

Know when to connect with a doctor:

You must know when it is essential for you to connect with a doctor and get eye conjunctivitis treatment done.

If your conjunctivitis does not improve within two weeks despite home remedies and simple Ayurvedic treatment, or if your symptoms worsen, it's essential to get in touch with your Ayurvedic doctor.

Immediate contact with your Ayurvedic doctor or an optician is necessary if you experience any of the following:

Pain inside your eyes

Sensitivity to light

Sudden changes in your vision

Consistent blurring of your vision

These signs may indicate a more severe issue with your eyes and should be addressed promptly.

For parents with a baby under one-month-old showing signs of conjunctivitis, contacting your Ayurvedic doctor or Hospital is crucial. Conjunctivitis in newborns can sometimes be severe, so timely attention is essential.

Ayurveda and conjunctivitis:

According to Ayurvedic medicine, conjunctivitis is termed "Netrabhishyanda," where the eyes are considered the portals to the soul. In Ayurveda, the eyes are closely associated with the Pitta dosha, specifically "aloha." When there is an excess of heat and other fire element characteristics, it can accumulate imbalances within the eyes, giving rise to symptoms like bloodshot and strained eyes, severe dryness, and reduced clarity of vision. It is essential to balance these energies to maintain optimal eye health and clarity of vision.

Ayurvedic treatment that I underwent: Netra Tarpana

The eyes can experience strain due to prolonged use, such as working on detailed designs or spending long hours staring at a computer screen. In such cases, providing your eyes with extra care and nourishment becomes essential. Ayurveda recommends a therapeutic technique called "Netra Tarpana" to address this issue. This treatment involves offering extra nutrition and rest to the eyes.

During Netra Tarpana, two therapists create a pool of pure ghee (organic clarified butter) over the eyes. The eyes comfortably rest in this pool of ghee. The treatment offers multiple benefits, including providing additional lubrication, imparting a cooling sensation, and nourishing and rejuvenating the eyes. It cleanses the delicate channels associated with inner and outer vision, enhancing overall perception and restoring clarity and brightness by expelling accumulated impurities in the eye region.

Moreover, Netra Tarpana can be highly effective in addressing early formation of cataracts and promoting eye relaxation, which aids in better sleep. It is employed in the treatment and management of conditions of Chronic Conjunctivitis and is the best eye flu treatment method. The therapy aims to optimize eye health and support visual well-being, making it a valuable approach in Ayurvedic eye care.

At Dr Basu Eye Hospital, the Ayurvedic doctors played an essential role in my recovery from conjunctivitis. They provided personalized and comprehensive treatment that resolved the conjunctivitis and offered several other benefits for my overall eye health.

The Ayurvedic doctors at Dr Basu Eye Hospital used a holistic approach that focused on curing the immediate problem and aimed to improve my eyes' overall health. Their expertise and personalized care played a significant role in my recovery and have positively impacted my eye health in the long run. I am genuinely grateful for their support and guidance throughout the healing process.

Conjunctivitis may be caused by environmental hazards, such as wind, smoke, dust, and allergic reactions caused by pollen, dust, or grass.

I had pink eye on thanksgiving and it sucked. At first your eye isn't pink but once you get in the later stages it turns blood shot. Many times your tears may become snotty and build up alot of eye bugers. At first its pretty hard to detect pink eye by just looking at it, but once it starts hurting go to a docter or hospital and get some drops.

Pink eye usually take 3-4 days with medication.

I wouldn't in a public pool, simply because the chlorine will irritate they eye even further.

Using your own urine to treat pink eye is very efffective. Its takes only one or two drops. I've used this remedy on myself and my kids. There is no need for a doctor's prescription.

Common types of bacterial conjunctivitis have an incubation period of one to three days.

Short answer is likely yes; unless an infected person touched an infected area and then touched your eye.

If you have pink eye, there will be all this gunk on your eye when you wake up. You need to get it off by putting a warm rag on top of your eye and gently pat it till it melts off. THIS DOES NOT HURT. Also it will be kind of hard to open your eye when you wake up since all of that gunk is on it. Of course your eye will be pink and it will itch a little, but for some people it will not itch. Go to a doctor as soon as you think you have pink eye, because you need to get drops to put in your eye. You need to wash your hands every time that you rub or touch your eye, because this is extremely contagious! You will start feeling better or will be cured in about 3-7 days.

It can be. It is a symptom of an infection of the eye, and that infection should be treated. It is possible that an untreated infection can damage the eye. Pink eye is also very contagious, so if you do not treat it, you will probably give it to someone else.

No, gentamicin is a cheap drug that has a record of poisoning 1 in 20-25 patients with permanent "oscillopsia" typified by NO BALANCE SYSTEM, blurry vision, shortened lifespan, depression. Do NOT use gentamin under ANY circumstances. Question your doctors personal knowledge of gentamicin if they suggest to use it....they are ignorant of slightly more expensive [about $USD3-4 more per shot/dosage] modern high tech medicines that superseded gentamicin 25 plus years ago. Third world countries are renowned for using cheap drugs for obvious reasons. Countries/hospitals in Western Countries like USA, Australia, Greece, Spain still use gentamicin as it is a cheap alternative in dollars [but an expensive alternative in health].

No. It's horrible for your eyes. The virus was spread onto your contact and you can't get it off with your regular solution. You need to buy new ones but you have to be 100% your pink eye is gone or you'll just damage another pair of contacts & your eye would get infected again.

Im just recovering from pink eye & unfortunaly from all the research I've read, I cant wear contacts. Which sucks, Believe me.

Pink eye can be transferred between people, so avoid rubbing your eyes and touching things. Wash your hands frequently to avoid spreading it. If you have not seen your doctor, do so. Your doctor will most likely prescribe eye drops or allergy medication. Applying a warm compress to your closed eye may soothe the pain.

Yes! It's ok to watch t.v. it's not going to harm you or cause it to get worse. Pink eye will cause sensativity to the light in some cases but it's actually not harmful. It takes about 8-10 days to get over it. It's mostly just very annoying..try not to scratch it! It will just make it itch more. "this is coming from someone with pink eye...right now." And it's not my first time. Now, Go watch T.V.

Yes, especially in the early stages of treatment, pink eye will still be very contagious. Drops will help slow the infection, but they will take time to fully cure it. Pink eye can easily be spread to others, so you should make sure you wash your hands, avoid rubbing your eyes, use clean towels, and take all of the medication your doctor prescribes. If you still have symptoms after completing the use of the eye drops, you may have a more resistant form of the illness and you may need another course of medication. On the other hand, pink eye is nearly always treated successfully, and if you follow the directions your doctor gives you, you should not have any problems from it.

Yes, well if you have severe conjunctivitus for a long time, or many times, it can eventually lead to severe damage to the eyes, or very rarley but sometimes blindness. If you think your conjunctivitus may be severe, go straight to the doctors. You should go and get eye drops from the doctors anyway, as soon as you realise you have conjunctivitus, otherwise it will just get worse! hope this answered! :)

Anybody can get pink eye, properly referred to as conjunctivitis. If there is mucous discharge, then it is usually conjunctivitis. You do have to make sure that they don't have dacryocystitis, which also causes mucous discharge. See your eyecare professional to determine which is occurring. Be careful if you plan on using any on hand antibiotics because certain types can actually harm young children/infants.

Doxycycline pills will not treat conjunctivitis

Yes! Bacterial conjunctivitis is very contagious! If you rub your already infected eye, and then touch anywhere near your other eye, your other eye will contract the bacteria. Be sure to consciously wash your hands after touching your face if you have pink eye!

Probably not unless his last partner had conjunctivitis. You CAN catch lots of other things, though. Your eye IS a mucous membrane, you know. Get tested (& tell him to watch where he aims that thing) skeet skeet.

You're unlikely to get chlamydia from sharing towels. You would have to use a towel with in seconds of some one using with chlamydia using it. Most stds don't last for long periods of time when they are outside of the body.
