Allergic?: Allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious - avoid the allergen and use an antihistamine. How do you know you have allergic conjunctivitis ? If you have not seen your doctor you should.

M.D. visit: If you have light sensitivity and thick discharge it could be an infection of the conjunctivae. If there is eye pain and redness, I would recommend seeing an Opthalmologist right away. Allergic conjunctivitis may be treated by gently rinsing the eye with sterile saline, avoiding the triggering agent and taking an antihistamine.
