Conjunctivitus

Conjunctivitus is an inflammation of the Conjunctiva. The Conjunctiva is the thin layer that covers the white of the eye and the inside of the eyelids. It can affect one or both eyes, but is extremely contageous. We advise patients who are displaying symptoms of conjunctivitus (itchy and sore eyes) to seek medical advise from their Doctor as soon as possible - before contacting us.

Contact lens wearers should remove their lenses and wear glasses instead - if you are wearing disposable lenses, we also advise you to throw the pair of lenses away to avoid re-infection.

For patients wearing gas permeable lenses - please contact your practice for advice immediately.
