A member asked:

Can sleeping under an open window be the cause of my constant conjunctivitis? its been coming and going for a while now i've used eye drops which help

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is it conjunctivitis: Conjunctivitis is a non-specific description of conjunctival inflammation. It can be viral, bacterial, allergic amongst others. More information is needed, such as which drops helped. It's unlikely that sleeping under an open window would cause recurrent conjunctivitis unless it's allergic.
