Understanding Pink Eye in Khaolak
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is inflammation of the clear tissue covering the white part of your eye. It can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, or irritants. Swimming in pools or ocean, touching contaminated surfaces, and close contact in hotels spread contagious forms rapidly among travelers.
While viral pink eye resolves on its own, bacterial conjunctivitis requires antibiotics. Our clinic accurately diagnoses the type and provides appropriate treatment plus guidance on preventing spread to others.
Pink Eye Symptoms We Treat
Seek treatment if you’re experiencing:
- Red or pink appearance – Bloodshot whites of eyes

Our Pink Eye Treatment Protocol
Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment:
1. Eye Examination: Visual inspection to determine type of conjunctivitis – viral, bacterial, or allergic. Each requires different treatment approaches.
2. Targeted Treatment: Antibiotic eye drops or ointment for bacterial infections, antihistamine drops for allergic conjunctivitis, artificial tears for viral cases, and instructions to manage symptoms while healing occurs.
3. Symptom Relief: Cold compresses, lubricating eye drops, and guidance on cleaning discharge to maintain comfort during recovery.
4. Prevention Guidance: Instructions on preventing spread – handwashing, towel separation, avoiding eye touching, and when it’s safe to return to swimming or normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pink Eye
How do I know if my pink eye is viral or bacterial?
Bacterial pink eye typically produces thick, yellow-green discharge that crusts eyelids shut, usually affects one eye initially, and causes more redness. Viral pink eye has watery discharge, often affects both eyes, may include other cold symptoms, and itches less. Allergic conjunctivitis causes intense itching, affects both eyes simultaneously, has watery discharge, and often occurs with other allergy symptoms. Only a doctor can diagnose definitively through examination. This matters because bacterial pink eye needs antibiotics while viral doesn’t respond to antibiotics.
Is pink eye contagious?
Viral and bacterial pink eye are highly contagious, spreading through direct contact with eye discharge, contaminated hands, towels, or surfaces. You’re contagious from when symptoms start until 24-48 hours after starting antibiotic treatment (bacterial) or for the entire duration of symptoms (viral – usually 7-14 days). Allergic and irritant conjunctivitis are NOT contagious. To prevent spreading: wash hands frequently, don’t touch or rub eyes, don’t share towels or pillows, change pillowcases daily, and avoid close contact. Stay home from work/school until doctor says you’re no longer contagious.
Can I swim or wear contacts with pink eye?
No swimming until infection is completely cleared – typically 7-10 days. Swimming spreads infection to others and pool chemicals irritate infected eyes. Avoid contact lenses entirely during treatment and for 1-2 days after symptoms resolve. Throw away contacts you were wearing when pink eye developed and their storage case – both are contaminated. Replace eye makeup used before or during infection as well. Our doctors advise when it’s safe to resume these activities based on your healing progress.
