Conjunctivitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Inflammation of the conjunctiva, known as conjunctivitis, is the irritation of the transparent membrane that covers the white part of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It is one of the most common eye conditions.
Frequent symptoms: Red eye, tearing, a gritty sensation, discharge and, at times, sticky eyelids upon waking.
Common causes: It may be due to viral or bacterial infections, allergic reactions, or contact with irritating substances.
Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the one who studies conditions of the eye, and the general practitioner can guide the first approach. If the redness is accompanied by intense pain, changes in vision, or does not improve, the sensible thing is to see a doctor.
