Conjunctivitis Treatment

At Care Pharmacy Hastings, our experienced pharmacists are trained to assess bacterial conjunctivitis (pink eye) and minor eyelid infections such as styes. We offer fast, professional eye care with no appointment required, making it easy for Hastings locals to get treatment quickly.

Symptoms of Bacterial Conjunctivitis

• Bacterial conjunctivitis is a common eye infection that may cause:

• Red or irritated eyes

• Sticky or yellow discharge

• Gritty or uncomfortable feeling

• Eyelids sticking together, especially in the morning

If you are experiencing these symptoms, visit our Hastings pharmacy for an assessment.

Antibiotic Eye Treatment Available
After a pharmacist consultation, we may supply Chloramphenicol antibiotic treatment when clinically appropriate, including:

• Chlorsig Eye Ointment

• Chlorfast Eye Drops

• Suitable for adults and children aged 2 years and over.

Important Information for Contact Lens Wearers
If you wear contact lenses and develop conjunctivitis, you must see a Doctor or Optometrist. For safety reasons, we cannot supply Chloramphenicol in this situation, as contact lens–related infections may require different treatment.
