Seen Quickly. Treated Right.
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is one of the most common eye conditions — but not all red eyes are the same. Bacterial, viral, and allergic conjunctivitis each require a different treatment approach, and misidentification leads to ineffective or unnecessary antibiotics.
Our doctors examine your eye thoroughly, identify the cause, and get you the right treatment the first time.
Bacterial Conjunctivitis
Yellow or green discharge, crusting, and matting of the lids — especially upon waking. Treated with prescription antibiotic drops that clear the infection within days.
Viral Conjunctivitis
The most common form — often accompanying a cold. Watery discharge, redness, and light sensitivity are typical. We provide supportive care and monitor for corneal involvement.
Allergic Conjunctivitis
Intense itching, watering, and bilateral redness — often seasonal. Treated with prescription antihistamine and mast-cell stabilizing drops for rapid relief.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is pink eye contagious?
Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious; allergic conjunctivitis is not. We'll tell you exactly which type you have and how to protect those around you.
Do I need antibiotics?
Only for bacterial infections. Antibiotics do nothing for viral or allergic pink eye — accurate diagnosis prevents wasted medication.
When should I be worried about a red eye?
Pain, light sensitivity, vision changes, or a red eye in a contact lens wearer should be examined promptly — call us the same day.
What can cause a red eye?
Causes include dry eye disease, uveitis, allergic conjunctivitis, bacterial conjunctivitis, and viral conjunctivitis. Seek evaluation at the first sign of symptoms because the correct treatment depends on the cause, and improper treatment can worsen some conditions.
Should I stop wearing contact lenses before my appointment?
If your eye is red or uncomfortable, it is generally safest to remove your contact lenses and use glasses until an eye doctor advises that it is safe to resume. Bring the lenses, case, and solution if possible, and ask whether any of them should be discarded.
