While the redness of the eye is a hallmark symptom of Conjunctivitis, some individuals may notice a yellowing of the sclera (the white part of the eye). This discoloration can occur as a result of inflammation, irritation, or an accumulation of discharge on the eye’s surface.

If you notice a yellowing of the sclera along with other symptoms of Pink Eye, it is essential to consult an eye care professional for proper diagnosis and treatment. They can help determine the underlying cause of the discoloration and recommend appropriate treatment options to alleviate your discomfort and restore the natural color of your eye. (13)
