Is there a test for pinkeye?

In most cases, your doctor can diagnose pink eye by asking questions about your symptoms and recent health history. An office visit is usually not needed. Rarely, your doctor may take a sample of the liquid that drains from your eye for laboratory analysis (culture).

What doctor do you go to if you think you have pink eye?

Most often, the doctor who would treat you for pink eye would be your family doctor or primary care physician. If there are any complications, you continuously develop conjunctivitis, or treatment by your doctor is not successful, you may be referred to an ophthalmologist, an eye specialist.
