Viral Conjunctivitis

Viral conjunctivitis, also known as "pink eye," is an eye infection caused by viruses like adenovirus, herpes simplex virus, and others. It leads to symptoms such as redness, itching, watery discharge, and light sensitivity. While most cases resolve on their own, it can take 14-30 days to go away. This highly contagious infection can cause significant discomfort, but there are no specific approved treatments, and management typically involves relieving symptoms and preventing bacterial superinfections.
