Mobile Eye Infection EvaluationsPink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is a common eye condition that can cause redness, irritation, tearing, and discharge. It can affect adults and school-aged children, making work, school, and everyday activities uncomfortable.

Instead of visiting a crowded waiting room while dealing with an irritated eye, UrgentCare2Go brings licensed healthcare providers directly to eligible homes, hotels, workplaces, assisted living communities, and other approved locations throughout Texas, allowing you to receive professional medical evaluation from the comfort of your location.

What Is Pink Eye?

Pink eye is inflammation of the conjunctiva—the thin, clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inside of the eyelids.

Several conditions can cause conjunctivitis, including:

• Viral infections
• Bacterial infections
• Seasonal allergies
• Irritants such as smoke or chemicals
• Contact lens irritation

Because different causes may require different treatment approaches, a medical evaluation is important.

Common Symptoms

Pink eye symptoms often include:

• Red or pink appearance of one or both eyes
• Itchy eyes
• Burning sensation
• Watery eyes
• Eye discharge
• Crusting around the eyelids
• Feeling like something is in the eye
• Mild eyelid swelling
• Increased tearing
• Light sensitivity

Symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause.

Helping Prevent Pink Eye

Good hygiene can help reduce the spread of conjunctivitis.

Helpful tips include:

• Wash your hands frequently.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyes.
• Do not share towels or washcloths.
• Replace eye makeup after an infection.
• Clean or replace contact lenses as directed.
• Disinfect commonly touched surfaces.

Following these habits may help lower the risk of spreading certain types of conjunctivitis.

When Medical Evaluation Is Recommended

Schedule a medical evaluation if:

• Symptoms worsen.
• Vision changes develop.
• Eye pain becomes significant.
• Thick drainage continues.
• Symptoms do not improve.
• You are unsure what is causing the redness.

A provider can help determine the likely cause and recommend the most appropriate treatment plan.

When To Call 911

Most cases of pink eye are not emergencies.

However, call 911 or seek emergency medical care immediately if you experience:

• Sudden vision loss
• Severe eye pain
• Chemical exposure to the eye
• Serious eye injury
• Severe swelling after trauma
• Loss of consciousness
• Other life-threatening symptoms
