In many cases, pink eye can be effectively treated the same way as a common cold with over-the-counter medication or eye drops. However, if your case of pink eye is severe enough or caused by a bacterial infection, you may require prescription medication. The type of medication that your doctor will prescribe is dependent on the kind of pink eye you have. The three pink eye types are viral conjunctivitis, which is the most common, bacterial conjunctivitis, and allergic conjunctivitis. With viral conjunctivitis, your doctor would prescribe antiviral medication. For bacterial conjunctivitis, antibiotics are the standard treatment for fighting the infection. Finally, for allergic conjunctivitis, your doctor would likely prescribe allergy medication or eye drops. When you come to Boca Medical Care in Boca Raton, Florida, our board-certified physicians can identify the type of pink eye that is ailing you, assess its severity, and provide you with either the prescription or over-the-counter medicine you need!

Instead, all you need to do is walk in, and you will be seen by one of our physicians within approximately 30 minutes!

The symptoms of pink eye, or conjunctivitis, are numerous, and they vary according to the specific type of pink eye that you are afflicted with, whether viral, bacterial, or allergic. The following is a list of the most common symptoms associated with the pink eye:

• Begins in one eye and spreads to the other, if viral conjunctivitis
• Blurred vision
• Burning or itchy eyes
• Crusting around eyelids and eyelashes that is especially worse in the morning

• Intense urge to rub your eye, feeling as though there is a foreign body in your eye
• The pink or red color in the whites of the eyes or inner eyelid
