What are pink eye and normal irritated eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Slang: Pink eye is also known medically as conjunctivitis. Both irritated eyes and pink eye can have similar symptoms. Ophthalmologists often look for the presence of inflammed lymph nodes for conjunctivitis. Allergy follows a different pattern in terms of symptoms and can cause much more itching. All can create watery irritated eyes. Your local eye specialist can help.
