Adenovirus is the most common cause of viral conjunctivitis, often referred to as “Pink Eye“. This eye infection is extremely contagious and can not only be passed from person to person, but even from coming into contact with a surface the virus has landed on up to 30 days ago.
What can you do for Pink Eye infections?
If you believe you have pink eye, see an eye care professional. Standard care for includes supportive measures like artificial tear eye drops for relief, and up to weeks of rest off of work to recover. HOWEVER, our doctors are currently studying a new eye drop treatment for viral causes of “Pink Eye” that may help you get back to normal quicker.
If you are:
- 18 years of age or older
- Have had symptoms for 4 days or less
