What to know

Photo and history review for common pink eye symptoms

Many cases of conjunctivitis can be assessed by a physician using a clear photo of the affected eye combined with a focused history of symptoms. The physician determines whether the presentation supports a clinical diagnosis and whether treatment is appropriate.

Start pink eye screeningSee what we treat

Have ready

  • A clear, well-lit photo of the affected eye (both eyes if both are involved)
  • When symptoms started and whether discharge is watery, mucous, or pus-like
  • Whether you wear contact lenses and whether you have had recent eye trauma
  • Medication allergies and current medications

May be a good fit

  • Adults with eye redness, discharge, crusting, or irritation consistent with common conjunctivitis
  • Cases where a clear photo of the affected eye can be provided
  • Mild symptoms without vision changes, severe pain, or trauma history
  • Adults 18 and older physically located in Virginia or West Virginia

Not the right setting

  • Eye pain, significant vision changes, light sensitivity, or history of recent eye trauma or surgery
  • Suspected herpes eye infection or recurrent eye infections
  • Contact lens wearers with red eyes — these cases carry higher risk and may need in-person evaluation
  • Symptoms in children, or symptoms lasting more than two weeks without improvement

Can pink eye be diagnosed from a photo?

A physician can often make a clinical assessment of common conjunctivitis using a photo combined with symptom history. If the presentation is atypical or concerning, you may be redirected to in-person eye care.

Will I get antibiotic eye drops?

The physician prescribes antibiotic drops only when bacterial conjunctivitis is suspected based on the clinical picture. Many cases of pink eye are viral and treated with supportive care.

What if my symptoms get worse?

If you develop eye pain, vision changes, light sensitivity, or worsening symptoms, seek in-person care or go to an ER immediately.
