AI overview

Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is an inflammation of the clear membrane covering the white part of the eye and inner eyelid, which causes the eye to appear pink or reddish and can produce symptoms like pain, burning, scratchiness, itching, excess tears, or morning crusting. It matters because it's a common condition that can affect one or both eyes and may have different causes, such as allergies, though it can be uncomfortable and sometimes contagious depending on the underlying cause.
