Abstract

Conjunctivitis or “pink eye” is a common affliction encountered frequently in family medicine. Most cases are viral and do not require antibiotics, and more accurate information for patients and their caregivers is needed to minimize unnecessary visits to urgent care and the emergency room. This will facilitate better patient care and fewer healthcare costs.
