Some of the common symptoms of bacterial conjunctivitis

  • Eyes are red, swollen and inflamed
  • Eyes will often have a white to yellow sticky fluid and discharge
  • Vision is not typically affected, however discharge may cause blurring when present
  • Eyes feel gritty, irritated and sore

  • Patient is under the age of 2
  • Patient uses contact lenses

If a pharmacist deems that treatment is necessary, they can provide you with the most appropriate treatment, without you having to see a doctor.
