What Is Pinkeye?
8. Diagnosis
A doctor diagnoses pinkeye if there is eye inflammation causing redness and discharge. The doctor may also ask questions to find out if the patient has had a recent encounter with a conjunctivitis patient.
And if the patient has had the condition for several days without improvement, the doctor may decide to swab the inside surface of the eyelid for a laboratory test to determine the cause of the infection.
