Conjunctivitis: "pink eye" can be a serious disorder that can lead to blindness. It's important for a doctor to diagnose it so that appropriate treatment can be given. "pink eye" can be caused by infection, corneal abrasion and other inflammatory conditions. Although often caused by viruses, pink eye can easily be spread and cause an epidemic. It is best to see the doctor than risk complications.
