2. If you injure your eye; injuries can become infected and lead to corneal ulcers.

3. If conjunctivitis affects your vision or produces severe pain or excessive discharge; this may mean an infection.

4. If your conjunctivitis appears to be getting worse after a week of home care; your may have a bacterial or viral infection.

5. If you get conjunctivitis frequently.

4. Wash your hands frequently if you have conjunctivitis, or if you live with someone who has it.
