Conjunctivitis- Prevention Tips and Treatments
Conjunctivitis is a common eye infection affecting adults and
children. It is caused by allergens and irritants, bacteria and
viruses that cause other common diseases, such as the common
cold. The disease is treatable and the treatment depends on the
specific cause. Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are highly
contagious and communicable. Let’s know more about
Conjunctivitis and its Homeopathic Treatment.
What is Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)?
Conjunctivitis or pink eye is an inflammation
of the conjunctiva. The Conjunctiva is the
clear tissue lining the inside of your eyelid
and the outer coating of your eye. This tissue
offers moisture to your eyelids and eyeballs.
Pink eye can occur in a single or both eyes at
a time. When it happens in both eyes, it tends
to be due to viral/bacterial conjunctivitis.
Pink eye often affects children the most. It
can be highly contagious and usually spreads
rapidly in schools and daycare centers. It is
rarely serious and does not cause vision loss
but gives discomfort to the patient.
Allergic Conjunctivitis
If you have conjunctivitis due to allergens like pollens;
you may develop tearing, itching, and redness in both
eyes. Apart from these symptoms, you might also have
an itchy, runny nose. It’s also possible to develop an
allergic type of pink eye called Giant Papillary
Conjunctivitis if you wear hard contact lenses or soft
contact lenses that aren’t replaced frequently enough.
Viral Conjunctivitis
This is the most common type of Conjunctivitis and may be the
most contagious too. It is caused by Common Cold Viruses. It
can occur if someone with an upper respiratory infection coughs
or sneezes close to you. It can also occur when you have a cold
virus yourself and blow your nose too hard. This can push the
infection from your respiratory system to your eyes. They tend
to start in one eye, where they produce lots of tears and a
watery discharge from the infected eye. Within a few days, the
other eye gets involved. Most cases of viral conjunctivitis are
mild, and the infection goes away in a couple of weeks.
BacterialConjunctivitis
Bacterial Conjunctivitis is caused by staphylococcal or
streptococcal bacteria and it usually infects one eye but
can show up in both. It typically occurs due to things
like touching your eyes with unclean hands, sharing
makeup, or having physical contact with someone who
may also have conjunctivitis. Your eye will put out a
lot of pus and mucus. Mild bacterial conjunctivitis
often goes away on its own without any treatment and
complications. It usually improves in two to five days.
Chemical Conjunctivitis
Some chemicals may also produce
Pink eyes such as air pollution, and
chlorine in swimming pools.
Ophthalmia neonatorum (Neonatal
Conjunctivitis)
Ophthalmia neonatorum is a type of conjunctivitis seen in
the neonatal period (first 30 days after birth), occurring in
1% to 12% of neonates. It can be caused by dangerous
bacteria. This, if left untreated, may be blinding so get it
treated right away to prevent permanent eye damage or
blindness. Bacterial and viral infections are major causes
of septic neonatal conjunctivitis, with Chlamydia being
the most common infectious agent and Neisseria being the
most visually threatening. Infants may acquire these
infective agents as they pass through the birth canal
during the birth process.
Symptoms of Conjunctivitis:
→ Swelling of Conjunctiva
→ Redness of eye and/ or eyelid
→ Increased tears than usual
→ Thick white/ yellow/ occasionally greenish eye
discharge that deposits over eyelids while sleep
and sticks the lids together on waking up.
→ Burning eyes
→ Itching in eyes
→ Increased sensitivity to light
→ Blurred vision
Preventive Measures for Conjunctivitis
Practicing good hygiene controls the spread of pink eye. These include:
• Maintain a high level of hygiene at home, especially if one or more
family members suffer from pink eye.
• Wash your pillowcases, towels, and bed sheets in hot water and
detergent. It will prevent the spreading of the infection. Also, use a good-
quality disinfectant to clean your home and keep it germless.
• Prevent sharing personal belongings.
• Wash your hands thoroughly at regular intervals. Avoid touching your
face and eyes too often.
• Keep more immune-boosting food in your diet. Add green leafy
vegetables and orange-colored foods to your diet, as these are rich in beta-
carotene. These foods improve the immune system, minimizing infection’s
chance.
• Avoid sharing and wearing eye makeup and contact lenses.
Management for Conjunctivitis
→ Cleaning the eyelids with a wet cloth
→ Apply warm compresses several times a day.
→ If you are using contact lenses, you are
advised to stop wearing them until the
completion of the treatment.
Homeopathic Treatment for Conjunctivitis:
1. Aconite: This remedy is indicated during the first stage of
conjunctivitis when you have firey red eyes with severe swelling of
the eyelids with burning inside the eyes. Your eyes are extremely
sensitive to light and there is excessive pus-like discharge from the
eyes.
2. Argentum Nitricum: Indicated when you have thick pus-like
mucous discharging from the eyes with conjunctivitis, this mucus
adheres to your cornea blocking your vision temporarily and you
have to wipe your eyes frequently. You have excessive tears
running from your eyes, discharge agglutinates your eyelids in the
mornings.
Homeopathic Treatment for Conjunctivitis:
3. Kali Bich: Indicated in the chronic form of Conjunctivitis with
recurrent attacks. Yellowish pus-like discharge is deposited in the
corners of the eyes and lids get stuck up in the mornings. Burning eyes
with a feeling of heat in eyes. Firey red eyes and you constantly want
to rub your eyes to clear them. You can not tolerate light on your eyes.
4. Euphrasia: Indicated when you have red, swollen eyes with thick
yellowish discharge that burns your lids and cheeks terribly. Blurred
vision and you have a constant desire to wink to clear the vision.
Eyepains are more felt during the night.
5. Spigelia: Indicated when you have severe pain in the eyes that even
moving eyes cause severe pain. You have a constant feeling of squeezing
in your eyes as if the eyes are too large to accommodate in their place.
Highly sensitive eyes to light with blurred vision and constant desire to
wipe the eyes, but wiping makes the vision more blur.
