Pink eye is an imprecise term used for several conditions that cause the eye to look red or pink. The most common condition it refers to is conjunctivitis which is an outer eye infection, the symptoms being redness, and a pus like discharge that matts the eye shut. pain, extreme sensitivity to light and reduced vision are not part of conjunctivitis.
When you call the Eye MDs office you tell them what your symptoms are.

define; pinkeye? What is it, how do i recognize it, identify it over the phone to a doctor?
Pick up the phone and make an appointment with your family doctor or an Eye MD. None of the home remedys or over the counter meds work.
