What is conjunctivitis?
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva — the thin, clear tissue that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or allergens, and is one of the most common eye conditions in the United States, with over 6 million cases each year.
Bacterial conjunctivitis often responds well to prescription antibiotic eye drops or ointment. Viral conjunctivitis usually resolves on its own within 1–2 weeks, while allergic conjunctivitis can be managed with antihistamine drops and avoiding triggers. A provider can help determine the type and recommend the right treatment.
Common signs and symptoms
- Redness in one or both eyes
- Itching or burning sensation
- Gritty feeling in the eye
- Discharge or crusting, especially upon waking
- Excessive tearing
- Sensitivity to light
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, early evaluation can help identify the cause and get you the right treatment faster — especially if it’s bacterial conjunctivitis, which responds quickly to antibiotic therapy.

Recurring pink eye?
Most pink eye resolves with standard treatment. If your conjunctivitis is recurrent or not responding to initial therapy, your provider may order a conjunctival culture to identify the specific organism. Lab work is ordered through Quest Diagnostics — walk in at any Florida location.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions about pink eye treatment at Goza Health.
How do I know if my pink eye needs antibiotics?
Bacterial conjunctivitis typically causes thick yellow-green discharge and crusting. Viral pink eye causes watery discharge and usually resolves on its own. Your provider will evaluate based on your photos and symptoms.
How fast will I get my prescription?
Most prescriptions are sent within 24-48 hours of completing your visit.
Do I need a video call?
No. Submit clear photos of your affected eye(s) along with symptom details. Your provider reviews everything within 24-48 hours.
How much does a pink eye visit cost?
A single message visit costs $79. Members ($69/mo) get message visits included, so you only pay for medication.
Is pink eye contagious?
Bacterial and viral conjunctivitis are both contagious. Wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, and don’t share towels or pillows while symptoms are present.
How long does pink eye last with treatment?
With antibiotic treatment, bacterial conjunctivitis typically improves within 1-2 days and resolves within 5-7 days.
Can I wear contact lenses during treatment?
Avoid contact lenses until your symptoms fully resolve and you’ve completed treatment. Switch to glasses temporarily.
Can I treat pink eye without seeing a doctor?
While mild viral pink eye may resolve on its own, bacterial pink eye requires prescription antibiotic drops or ointment. A Goza provider can quickly determine whether you need treatment based on your symptoms and photos.
How long is pink eye contagious?
Bacterial pink eye is contagious until you’ve been on antibiotic drops for 24 hours. Viral pink eye can remain contagious for 10-14 days. Your provider will advise on precautions.
Can pink eye spread from one eye to the other?
Yes — this is common. To prevent spreading, avoid touching your eyes, wash hands frequently, and don’t share towels or pillowcases. If both eyes are affected, mention this in your visit.
Is pink eye dangerous to my vision?
Routine bacterial or viral conjunctivitis does not affect long-term vision when treated appropriately. With antibiotic treatment, bacterial pink eye typically clears within 5-7 days.
