Conjunctivitis Treatment Specialist in Oklahoma City

If you notice redness in one or both eyes, a gritty sensation, or increased tear production, our experienced medical professionals are here to help diagnose and treat your condition. We recognize that the sticky discharge associated with conjunctivitis, which can cause eyelids to stick together, is not only inconvenient but can also be concerning. We offer thorough evaluations to determine the cause of the discharge, which can vary from clear to yellow or greenish, ensuring you receive the appropriate treatment.

For those experiencing itching, burning sensations, or sensitivity to light, our team at Immediate Care of Oklahoma is equipped to provide relief and guidance. We emphasize the importance of seeking medical advice, especially if symptoms persist or worsen, as this could suggest a more serious underlying issue.

Our experienced medical professionals are here to help you recognize and manage the symptoms of conjunctivitis effectively. With a focus on providing prompt and accurate diagnosis, we can distinguish between viral, bacterial, and allergic conjunctivitis to ensure you receive the most appropriate treatment.

For those experiencing bacterial conjunctivitis, our team can prescribe the necessary antibiotics to help clear the infection quickly. If your conjunctivitis is viral, we offer guidance on symptom management and infection control to prevent spreading it to others. For allergic conjunctivitis, we can recommend treatments that address both the eye symptoms and any related allergy symptoms, such as sneezing and a runny nose.

At Immediate Care of Oklahoma, we prioritize your eye health and comfort. We advise contact lens wearers to remove their lenses immediately if conjunctivitis is suspected and to avoid wearing them until the condition is resolved. Our goal is to alleviate your symptoms and help you return to your daily activities as swiftly as possible.

At Immediate Care of Oklahoma, we understand that viral and bacterial conjunctivitis are contagious and can easily spread in community settings. Our healthcare professionals emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and treatment to prevent further transmission. We offer prompt attention to symptoms of conjunctivitis, such as redness, itching, and discharge, to quickly determine the cause and recommend an appropriate course of action.

For viral conjunctivitis, often caused by adenoviruses, we provide guidance on managing symptoms and preventing spread. This includes tips on hygiene practices such as frequent handwashing and avoiding eye contact with contaminated surfaces. Our facility ensures a clean, sanitized environment to minimize the risk of transmission during your visit.

If bacterial conjunctivitis is diagnosed, we may prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointments to expedite recovery and reduce contagiousness. Our medical staff also advises on preventive measures like not sharing personal items, such as towels or makeup, to protect family members and co-workers from infection.

While allergic conjunctivitis is not contagious, our team can help identify triggers such as pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, and recommend strategies to alleviate symptoms. We can also offer advice on effective over-the-counter or prescription treatments to manage discomfort.

Immediate Care of Oklahoma is committed to providing patient education on preventing the spread of contagious conjunctivitis. We encourage individuals to stay home when symptomatic, adhere to proper hygiene practices, and follow treatment plans as prescribed. Our goal is to ensure the health and safety of both our patients and the broader community.
