This is the most typical appearance of conjunctivitis with redness of the eye and mucoid debris on the eyelashes. Conjunctivitis makes the surface of the eye red, and it can also make the inner lining of the eyelid red, accompanied by discharge. Surface changes with redness of the inner lining of the upper eyelid (tarsal conjunctiva) may occur in certain types of conjunctivitis.

Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe
Topical antibiotic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergy drops may all be prescribed by your doctor. If the pink eye is recurring frequently, oral antibiotics may be prescribed. If the pink eye is related to another disease elsewhere in the body (such as a respiratory disease or an STD), that disease will need treatment as well.
