Dr. Gina Wesley: Pink Eye vs Red Eye

This morning Dr. Gina Wesley joined us to talk about the differences between pink eye and red eye and how each are treated.

Eye infections, commonly referred to as "red eye" or "pink eye," can be elusive. You may not know what is causing the infection or how best to treat it. There are a myriad of reasons one can get a red, irritated eye. Some of these reasons can lead to permanent vision damage if not diagnosed and treated in a timely manner.

The best way to protect your eye is to visit an eye doctor when your eye is red, irritated and/or vision is reduced. Proper equipment and professional knowledge of your eye care practitioner will lead to faster treatment and relief.
