Types of Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

Chemical Conjunctivitis

Another form of conjunctivitis can be caused by irritation from a foreign object or a chemical splash in the eye. When you clean or flush your eyes to remove the object or chemical, it leads to irritation and redness. Typical signs include mucous discharge and watery eyes. They tend to disappear in one or a few days. Persistent symptoms should be informed to your doctor to prevent further complications. [5]
