- Bacterial conjunctivitis is generally accompanied by a discharge from the eye with crusting of the eyelashes.
- Viral conjunctivitis produces a watery discharge and may accompany the common cold. True "pink-eye", an infectious viral conjunctivitis, is quite contagious and may involve conjunctival hemorrhages.
- Allergic conjunctivitis, as found in hay fever and other allergies, can make the eyes itchy or cause a chronic red eye.
- Environmental irritants such as dust, smoke or fumes may cause conjunctivitis.
