Pinkeye, also known as conjunctivitis, is a common eye infection that can affect both humans and animals. It is characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the thin layer of tissue that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids. Pinkeye can be caused by various factors such as bacteria, viruses, allergens, or irritants like dust and smoke. Symptoms include redness, itching, tearing, discharge, and a rough feeling in the eyes. Treatment typically involves applying warm compresses, using over-the-counter or prescription eye drops or ointments, and avoiding known irritants. In serious cases or those caused by bacteria, antibiotics may be prescribed. Preventive measures include practicing good hygiene, avoiding sharing personal items like towels and eye makeup, and protecting the eyes from irritants and infections.
