Pink Eye
Conjunctivitis, also known as “pink eye,” is often spread in schools year-round. Pink eye is an infection or irritation of the white parts of the eye. Pink eye is usually viral (but can be bacterial) and is highly contagious. Symptoms include redness, itching, burning, and a gritty feeling in the eye as well as discharge that can cause the eyelids to stick together.
Viral conjunctivitis typically lasts anywhere from 7- 14 days. If you suspect your student has pink eye, it is important to see your healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause.
To prevent transmission, good hand hygiene is very important. Washing hands with soap and water is preferred but the use of hand sanitizer is acceptable when soap and water is not available. Another preventative measure is discouraging students from sharing towels, make-up, eyeglasses, and reinforcing the proper use and care of contact lenses.
Until next time…. Stay healthy T-birds!
