I was extremely impressed with Omni Eye Specialists. When I called, I thought my problem was urgent. I was told by my eye doctor to see an opthalmologist the same day. When I called, Omni got me an appointment an hour and a half later. Dr. Belen was especially courteous- as was the rest of the staff. He talked to me in a language I could understand and not over my head as some doctors do. He was very pleasant and had a nice smile.

Conjunctivitis is the term used to describe inflammation of the conjunctiva. In ordinary terms, conjunctivitis is the most common cause of red or “pink” eye.

Eye irritation, infections, viruses and allergies cause conjunctivitis. Infectious conjunctivitis, whether bacterial or viral, can be quite contagious so contact with the patient's tears through used handkerchiefs and towels should be avoided. Hand washing after contact with the patients helps to prevent the spread of the infection.
