    Red eye and conjunctivitis

    Most red eyes are caused by conjunctivitis, allergy, dryness or a burst blood vessel, and settle on their own. Pain, light sensitivity or blurred vision need prompt care.

    Common questions

    How long does viral conjunctivitis last?

    It usually improves within one to two weeks, though it can last longer. It is contagious while the eyes are red and watery.

    Should I use redness-relief drops?

    Occasional use is fine, but regular use can cause rebound redness. Find and treat the cause instead.

    Is it contagious?

    No. It is a small bleed, not an infection.

    Can a corneal ulcer heal on its own?

    It should never be left untreated. Infections can worsen quickly and leave scars that affect vision.
