FAQ sul Trattamento di Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)
Can I get antibiotic eye drops online?
Yes, if our doctor determines you have bacterial conjunctivitis, they can prescribe antibiotic eye drops that you can pick up at any pharmacy. Not all pink eye requires antibiotics—viral conjunctivitis won't respond to them.
How can a doctor diagnose pink eye via video call?
Our doctors can assess your symptoms, look at your eye via video, and ask about accompanying symptoms to determine the type of conjunctivitis. They'll recommend appropriate treatment based on whether it's bacterial, viral, or allergic.
Is pink eye contagious?
Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are highly contagious. Our doctors will provide guidance on preventing spread to others and when it's safe to return to work or school.
How long does pink eye last?
Viral pink eye typically resolves in 1-2 weeks. Bacterial pink eye often improves within 24-48 hours of starting antibiotic drops. Allergic conjunctivitis continues as long as you're exposed to the allergen.
Can I wear contact lenses with pink eye?
You should avoid wearing contact lenses until the infection clears completely. Our doctors will advise when it's safe to resume lens wear and whether you need to replace your current lenses.
