Conjunctivitis | Pink Eye-Causes |

Text 
|
Bacterial conjunctivitis is often caused by bacteria such as staphylococcus and streptococcus. 
The viral type is often associated with an upper respiratory
tract infection, cold, or sore throat.
A history of close contact with a family member or any other
individual with a "pink eye" is also commonly
elicited.
Allergic conjunctivitis may be caused by intolerance to
substances such as cosmetics, perfume, or drugs.
Environmental irritants such as smoke or fumes may cause
conjunctivitis or pink eye.
Any type of conjunctivitis or pink eye is aggravated by dryness of the
eyes.
Conjunctivitis or pink eye may be transmitted to the eye by contaminated
hands, washcloths or towels, cosmetics (particularly eye
makeup), false eyelashes or improper usage of contact lenses.
Newborns can be infected by bacteria in the birth canal. This
condition is called Ophthalmia Neonatorum and must be
treated immediately to preserve sight. |
