Conjunctivitis can be categorized by the speed of onset into hyperacute, acute or subacute, and chronic. Depending on the severity of the condition, it can be classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Acute conjunctivitis is usually self-limiting, with the condition lasting about two weeks. After treatment with sensitive antibiotics, recovery can occur within a few days.

Does conjunctivitis require a dietary restriction?

When we look at our phones and computers for long periods, it can lead to conjunctivitis due to eye strain. Among conjunctivitis cases, allergic conjunctivitis is the most common, especially during the spring and autumn seasons when symptoms like itchy eyes often occur. During such times, it is best to avoid spicy, irritating foods and seafood, as consuming these can exacerbate the itching. Additionally, if it is bacterial conjunctivitis, it is also recommended to limit the intake of spicy and irritating foods.
