Conjunctivitis (commonly called "pink eye" or "Madras eye"[1]) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), most commonly due to an allergic reaction or an infection (usually viral, but sometimes bacterial[2]). While this article relates generally to humans, animals such as canines (dogs) can experience this condition.
It is inflammation of the membranes (conjunctiva) covering the whites of the eyes and the membranes on the inner part of the eyelids. But is normally looks pink but could be very infected and look red.
pink eye is the common name for conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the lining of the eye and eyelids. The vast majority of cases of pinkeye have nothing to do with herpes infection of the eye.
