Conjunctivitis & Pink Eye in Kathmandu: Viral, Bacterial, Allergic, Treatment & Red Flags

A red eye is not automatically “eye flu,” and not every case needs antibiotics. Viral, bacterial, allergic, irritant and more serious corneal or intraocular conditions can look similar at first. The safest strategy is to recognize the pattern, stop risky contact-lens wear, use good hygiene and seek prompt care when pain, light sensitivity or vision loss is present.

Red-Eye Emergency Warning

Severe eye pain, significant light sensitivity, major vision loss, a white corneal spot, chemical injury, trauma, or a painful red eye in a contact-lens wearer is not “simple conjunctivitis” until proven otherwise. Seek prompt medical/ophthalmic assessment.

Major 2026 Corrections to the Old Article

The 2024 article listed multiple antibiotics and antivirals as though they were routine options, suggested topical steroids for chemical irritation, and blurred the difference between allergy, irritation and infection. This rewrite removes self-prescribing advice. Antibiotics do not treat viral or allergic conjunctivitis; steroid eye drops require professional supervision; chemical exposures need immediate irrigation; and contact-lens red eye deserves extra caution because corneal infection can threaten vision.
