What is Pink Eye?
Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, is when the clear tissue covering the white part of your eyes (the conjunctiva) becomes irritated by allergies or an infection. The condition can occur in one eye or both eyes and symptoms typically include red, watery, swollen eyes sometimes accompanied by sticky discharge and blurry vision. There are several types of conjunctivitis; some of which are highly contagious.

How Do You Get Pink Eye?
The most common way to get bacterial or viral conjunctivitis is by direct contact with an infected individual; commonly through hand-to-eye contact. Transmission is not always from person-to-person, however. Bacterial infection can migrate from a person’s own nose and sinuses to their eyes. Pink eye can also be caused by improperly cleaned or poorly fitting contact lenses.
