A member asked:
I can't tell if i have conjunctivitis or allergies?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Onset and duration: Allergies usually begin in both eyes simultaneously, causing itching and some tearing. They may cause mild redness. There are many kinds of conjunctivitis, but most start on one side, then may spread to the other in a day or two. See an ophthalmologist for a physical exam and further recommendations.
