Conjunctivitis manifests itself as a characteristic redness of the eye, accompanied by burning and itching sensations. Patients often report a sensation of a foreign body in the eye and excessive tear production. Secretions may appear, sticky and yellowish in the case of bacterial infection, more liquid in the case of viral infection. In the case of allergic conjunctivitis, the eyes are particularly watery and itch more intensely.
If left untreated, infectious conjunctivitis can lead to serious complications. The infection may spread to other eye structures or persist for several weeks. In some cases, it can cause temporary blurred vision or intense eye pain. Transmission to others is also a major risk, particularly in cases of infectious conjunctivitis. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to avoid these complications.

Conjunctivitis can be caused by bacteria, viruses, allergens or environmental irritants. Bacterial and viral infections are highly contagious, while allergic reactions are linked to factors such as pollen or dust.
The type of secretions and associated symptoms can give clues. Bacterial conjunctivitis produces thick, yellowish secretions, viral conjunctivitis produces more liquid secretions, and allergic conjunctivitis is accompanied by intense itching and watery eyes. Only a medical examination can provide a precise diagnosis.
Treatments vary according to cause: antibiotic eye drops for bacterial infections, antiviral eye drops for certain viral infections, and antihistamines for allergies. Artificial tears can relieve symptoms. Treatment is prescribed following a precise medical diagnosis.
It is strongly recommended that you consult a doctor for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. Self-medication may delay recovery or aggravate symptoms if treatment is not appropriate.
The duration varies according to type: viral conjunctivitis generally lasts 1 to 2 weeks, bacterial 5 to 7 days with treatment, and allergic conjunctivitis may persist as long as the allergen is present. Appropriate treatment speeds recovery.
Seek prompt medical attention if you experience intense pain, severe sensitivity to light, persistent blurred vision, or if symptoms worsen despite treatment.
Wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, don't share towels or make-up, and change your pillowcase regularly. Children should stay at home until symptoms improve.
Gently clean your eyes with a sterile compress and cooled boiled water. Apply prescribed eye drops or ointments with clean hands, and avoid contact between the container and the eye.
No, we strongly advise against wearing contact lenses during conjunctivitis. Wait at least 24 hours after symptoms have completely disappeared before putting them back in. Use a new pair to avoid recontamination.
Side effects may include a slight, temporary burning sensation, temporary blurred vision, or a bitter taste in the mouth. If you experience more serious effects, contact your doctor.
Yes, conjunctivitis can affect just one eye initially, then spread to the other. Viral and allergic conjunctivitis often affect both eyes simultaneously, while bacterial infections may start in one eye before spreading.
