While the symptoms may be similar, pink eye has different causes, and not every case responds to the same treatment. Find out more about the types of pink eye and how they’re treated.
Don’t treat yourself if you experience a severe eye injury or persistent symptoms suggesting an underlying condition. Pain, light sensitivity, pupil size shifts, shadows, double images, and flashes of light all signal a more serious issue.
