Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis (kon-jung-tih-VY-tis), often called pinkeye, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (kon-jung-TIE-vuh), the thin membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the surface of the eyeball. Conjunctivitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, allergies, or chemical irritation.
