Did You Know A Simple Case Of Pink Eye Could Lead To Something Like This?

Conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye, is a common infection. It can be caused by the same virus as the cold virus, bacteria, or allergies. Regardless of how you get it, the symptoms are the same: an inflammation of the membranes in the eyes. Most cases are mild and treatable with a few days rest, yet thousands a year are so severe that they could cause blindness.
