Pinkeye, or conjunctivitis, is an inflammation and/or infection of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent tissue covering the white of the eyes and inside of the eyelids. Symptoms include red, watery eyes; blurred vision; itchiness; an irritated or scratchy feeling in the eyes and a clear or pus-like discharge. It is best to see your eyecare professional to know for sure and avoid spreading a possible infection.
