Conjunctivitis, sometimes known as ‘pink eye’, is when your eyes turn red or pink and feel itchy, watery, or uncomfortable.

If it's caused by bacteria, you might also get yellow or green gunk coming from your eyes. This can make your eyelids stick together, especially when you first wake up.

Gently cleaning your eyes with cotton balls soaked in warm water several times a day will help keep them clean and provide relief.

You can catch pink eye from someone else when they cough, sneeze, or touch their eyes and then touch things you touch.

If your eyes don't start feeling better after 1-2 days, see a doctor.
