Overview
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation of the tissue on the surface of the eye and/or the inside lining of the eyelids. Common causes in children are usually due to infection with viruses or bacteria, allergies, or an environmental irritant such as chemicals, fumes, dust, or debris. Eye injury can also result in a pink/red eye that is bothersome to the child, sometimes causing visual problems as well.
