ShareWhat is Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)?
Conjunctiva is a transparent membrane that covers the eyelids and white portion of the eye. Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of this conjunctiva layer. When the small blood vessels in the conjunctiva get inflamed, this layer becomes reddish or pinkish and clearer. Since the color of the eye changes to pink, this condition is also called Pink Eye. Ayurveda explains this condition as Kapha Abhishyanda, a condition constituting infection and inflammation of the eye.
Causes of Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
Conjunctivitis is commonly caused following factors:
- Viruses

- In newborns, a blocked or incompletely opened tear duct
Following are some of the risk factors for conjunctivitis:
- Exposure to allergens
- Exposure to others having conjunctivitis
- Use of contact lenses
Ayurveda suggests reasons for conjunctivitis are improperly digested food, improper sleep, splashing hot water in the eyes, dust, smoke, etc.

Ayurvedic Reference of Conjunctivitis (Kapha Abhishyanda)
Types of Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)
- Conjunctivitis of Newborns – Bacteria normally present in the mother’s birth canal can rarely cause infants, a serious form of conjunctivitis. It is known as the Ophthalmia neonatorum. This condition requires treatment at the earliest to preserve sight.
- Viral and bacterial conjunctivitis – Mostly conjunctivitis is caused by adenovirus; but it can also be caused by herpes simplex virus, varicella-zoster virus, and even the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis have almost similar symptoms. Wearing unclean contact lenses or that of others can result in bacterial conjunctivitis. Both types spread through direct or indirect contact with the liquid oozing from the eyes of an infected person.
