Eye Infection

Eye infections can present symptoms such as redness, swelling, itching, pain, discharge, watery eyes, blurred vision, or sensitivity to light. If symptoms persist or worsen, feel free to consult our friendly pharmacist and we'll recommend suitable medication for you.

Treatment depends on the type of infection. Over-the-counter products such as lubricating eye drops, antibiotic ointments, or antihistamines may provide relief. Severe or persistent infections may require a prescription from a doctor.

Practise good hygiene, such as washing your hands before touching your eyes, avoiding sharing personal items like towels, and cleaning contact lenses properly.

Some products are safe for contact lens users, while others may require removal before use. Always read the product instructions and consult with your doctor or pharmacist if unsure.

Yes, infections like conjunctivitis (pink eye) are highly contagious. Avoid sharing personal items, wash hands frequently, and minimise close contact with others to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.
