Pink Eye

Pink eye is a catch-all term for a red, irritated eye — and the right treatment depends entirely on the cause. Guessing wrong prolongs it and can spread it through a household.

Who it's for

Children and adults with a red, watery, or discharging eye.

What to expect

  • Slit-lamp examination to identify the cause.
  • Prescription treatment when appropriate, and honest guidance when it's viral and needs time.
  • Advice on returning to school or work safely.

When to book

  • One or both eyes turned red overnight.
  • There's discharge, crusting, or light sensitivity.
  • A family member or classmate has it.
