The most common way to get conjunctivitis is through direct contact with an infected person or object. This includes things like touching the eye with unwashed hands, sharing towels or makeup with someone who has an infection, or coming into contact with contaminated surfaces or water. Other possible causes of conjunctivitis include allergies or irritants such as smoke, dust, or wind. Infectious organisms like bacteria, viruses, and fungi can also cause conjunctivitis.

Conjunctivitis, or pink eye, is a common and highly contagious eye condition that is characterized by inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent membrane that lines the inner eyelid and the white of the eye. The most common way to get conjunctivitis is through contact with an infected person, either through direct contact or by sharing items such as towels, pillows, or makeup. Conjunctivitis can also be spread through the air, such as when an infected individual sneezes or coughs. Other causes of conjunctivitis include exposure to allergens, irritants, and certain viruses or bacteria. While the condition typically resolves itself within a few weeks, it is important to seek medical attention if the symptoms worsen or do not improve after a few days. Treatment options include antibiotic eye drops, antihistamine eye drops, or topical steroids.

The most common way to get conjunctivitis is through direct contact with an infected person. This can include touching the eyes or face of someone with the infection, sharing items such as towels and linens, and contact with contaminated surfaces. Conjunctivitis can also be spread through airborne droplets when an infected person sneezes or coughs. In some cases, conjunctivitis can also be caused by allergies or an underlying medical condition.

The most common way to get conjunctivitis is through viral or bacterial infections. Viral conjunctivitis is usually caused by the same viruses that cause the common cold and other respiratory illnesses. Bacterial conjunctivitis is typically caused by bacteria such as staphylococcus, streptococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae. It can also be caused by contact with an infected person's eye or hand, or contact with contaminated objects such as towels or swimming pools. Allergic conjunctivitis can also be caused by exposure to pollen, pet dander, and other allergens.

Conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as "pink eye," is most often caused by a bacterial or viral infection, though it can also be caused by allergies or irritants. The most common way to get conjunctivitis is through contact with an infected person, either directly or indirectly. This can include touching an infected person's eyes or hands, breathing in infected droplets from a cough or sneeze, or sharing contaminated objects like towels or makeup. Proper hygiene, such as frequent hand washing and avoiding contact with infected individuals, can help reduce the spread of conjunctivitis.
