Conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as “pink eye,” is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, a thin membrane covering the white part of the eye (sclera) and the inner surface of the eyelids. It can be contagious and may arise from various causes such as allergic reactions, bacterial, or viral infections. Here’s more information about conjunctivitis:
