Common causes include viral infections (like adenovirus), bacterial infections, allergens, and irritants. Each type may require different treatment approaches.
Diagnosis typically involves a comprehensive eye examination, patient history, and possibly lab tests to identify the causative agent, especially in cases of bacterial conjunctivitis.
Treatment options vary based on the cause and may include antihistamines for allergic conjunctivitis, antibiotic drops for bacterial infections, and supportive care for viral cases.
