What is Conjunctivitis?
Conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as styes, red or pink eye, is an eye condition that can result from infections or allergies. It typically resolves on its own within a couple of weeks without the need for medical treatment. The condition often affects both eyes, leading to symptoms such as:
- Redness
- A burning or gritty sensation
- Pus formation that may stick to lashes
- Itching
- Increased tear production
Causes of Conjunctivitis:
Conjunctivitis can be triggered by a variety of factors, including:
- Viruses, such as those causing the common cold
- Bacterial infections
- Irritants like shampoo, dirt, smoke, and swimming pool chlorine
- Adverse reactions to eye drops
- Allergic responses to common allergens like pollen, dust, or smoke, as well as reactions specific to contact lens wearers
- Less commonly, fungi, amoebas, and parasites
Understanding these causes can help in identifying and managing conjunctivitis effectively, reducing discomfort and preventing spread.

Chloramphenicol eye ointment is used by placing a small amount (about 1cm) in the space between the lower eyelid and the eye. Always follow your pharmacist’s instructions.
A course of treatment lasts 5 days:
- If the eye ointment is being used alone, squeeze a thin line of ointment inside the lower eyelid of each affected eye 3 to 4 times a day. This means that you should use it about every 4 – 6 hours.
- If you are using Chloramphenicol eye drops during the day and the eye ointment at night – apply the ointment at night, before going to bed.
- Wash your hands before and after using the ointment
- Sit or stand in front of a mirror
- Take off the tube cap
- Tilt the head gently backwards
- Gently pull lower eyelid down
- Gently squeezing the tube, put about 1cm of ointment into the space between the lower eyelid and the eye
- Let go of the eyelid and blink a few times. This will help spread the ointment over the eye
- Try not to touch the eye, eyelashes, or anything else with the tip of the tube
- Repeat for the other eye, if affected
- Replace the cap securely after use
It is important to complete the course of treatment even if your eyes feel better.
