Frequently asked questions

Will I get antibiotic drops?

For confirmed or strongly suspected bacterial conjunctivitis, yes. Most viral conjunctivitis does not need antibiotics.

How long is it contagious?

Bacterial — 24-48 hours after starting drops. Viral — until symptoms fully resolve, usually 1-2 weeks.

Can my child go back to school?

HSE guidance is to keep children home until discharge has stopped. We will confirm in writing if a school requires it.

I wear contact lenses — what should I do?

Stop wearing them immediately and switch to glasses. A contact-lens-related red eye needs urgent in-person review.

How much does it cost?
