EDITOR'S PICK

Conjunctivitis (also called "madras eye" or "pink eye") is an acute inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), most commonly due to an allergic reaction or an infection

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunctivitis

Dr.Henry Bernstein, M.D.

Pinkeye(also known as “conjunctivitis”) involves the outer protective part of the eyeball and inside part of the eyelids. Infection is the most common cause and is easily spread through direct contact with fingers contaminated by germs. Other things less commonly cause conjunctivitis like allergies (eyes tend to water a lot and be very itchy) or chemicals (for example, when kids are swimming underwater in a pool with their eyes open, chlorine can irritate their eyes).

Conjunctivitis is one of the most common nontraumatic eye complaints resulting in presentation to the ED. The term describes any inflammatory process that involves the conjunctiva; however, to most patients, conjunctivitis (often called pink eye) is a diagnosis in its own right. Most causes of conjunctivitis are benign, and the role of the emergency physician is to separate those few conditions requiring more vigorous treatment from the majority that can be handled satisfactorily in the ED.
