It can affect people of all ages, including you or someone you care for. While it may not always be serious, it can feel uncomfortable and even interrupt your day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition, also known as Bacterial Conjunctivitis, is a bacterial infection of the conjunctiva, the clear layer covering your eyes and eyelids. This infection causes redness, swelling, and discharge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It spreads easily from person to person through touch or shared items. Many people confuse it with other types of Pink Eye, so knowing the exact signs helps in getting the right care. Additionally, knowing the risk factors, possible complications, and treatment options helps protect your eyes and prevent spreading the infection to others.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This article explains the Bacterial Pink Eye symptoms in adults and children, how to tell bacterial from viral Pink Eye, and what you can do to feel better quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-are-the-most-common-symptoms-of-bacterial-pink-eye\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the most common symptoms of Bacterial Pink Eye?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodrxmedicine.com\/blog\/eyecare\/bacterial-pink-eye\/\" target=\"_blank\">Bacterial Pink Eye<\/a> symptoms often start suddenly and can range from mild to severe. Most symptoms are mild and may go away without treatment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are the most common signs you may notice:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Red, inflamed eyes:<\/strong> The white part of your eye turns pink or red due to swollen blood vessels in the conjunctiva.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yellow or white discharge:<\/strong> Thick, sticky pus or mucus may come from your eye. This discharge often causes your eyelids to stick together, especially in the morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Crusty eyelids in the morning:<\/strong> You may wake up with crusts formed from dried discharge on your eyelashes or eyelids.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Swollen eyelids:<\/strong> Puffiness or swelling around your eyes is common.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sticky eye feeling:<\/strong> Your eyes may feel glued shut or sticky.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gritty or sandy sensation:<\/strong> It may feel like something is in your eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Watery, irritated eyes:<\/strong> Your eyes may tear more than usual and feel itchy or irritated.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sensitivity to light:<\/strong> Bright lights may bother your eyes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Blurred vision:<\/strong> You may also feel a slight blur in your vision if discharge builds up, a common blurred vision, in Pink Eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, Bacterial Pink Eye starts in one eye but can spread to the other within a few days.<\/p>\n\n\n<!-- ===== GRX 4-Product Strip (responsive, WP-proof spacing)

You may notice redness, swelling, or a sticky feeling in your eye during this time. It can spread easily, so keep your hands clean and avoid touching your eyes.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1750658647970\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">How long do symptoms of Bacterial Pink eye last?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Symptoms of Bacterial Pink Eye usually last about 5 to 7 days. You may see redness, swelling, and discharge from the eye. If you start treatment early, the symptoms can get better faster. Always keep your hands clean to avoid spreading it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1750658649477\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can you go to work with Bacterial Conjunctivitis?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, you should not go to work if you have Bacterial Conjunctivitis.
