About Conjunctivitis
Conjunctivitis is a common eye condition that can cause redness, irritation, watering and discharge from the eyes. It may be caused by infection, allergies or irritation and symptoms can vary depending on the underlying cause.
At Longeva Wellness, pharmacist-led consultations focus on assessing symptoms, identifying appropriate treatment options and advising when further medical assessment may be required.
Recognising Conjunctivitis Symptoms
Common symptoms of conjunctivitis include redness, itching, watering, sticky discharge and discomfort affecting one or both eyes. Some patients may also experience swollen eyelids or a gritty sensation in the eye.
Patients travel to our clinic from Rochdale, Manchester and across Greater Manchester for personalised consultations and treatment advice delivered under clinical supervision.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the cause and severity of symptoms. Some cases improve with supportive care and hygiene measures, while others may require pharmacy treatment or prescription medication where clinically appropriate.
Our team discusses suitable treatment options following a full symptom assessment and advises on how to reduce irritation and support recovery.
Pharmacist-Led Care
Pharmacist-led consultations allow appropriate prescription-only medicines to be supplied for selected conditions without the need for a GP appointment where eligibility criteria are met.
This approach helps improve access to timely treatment while ensuring symptoms are assessed safely and professionally.
When To Seek Further Help
Certain symptoms require further medical assessment, including severe pain, changes in vision, light sensitivity or symptoms that do not improve. Our team always advises on when GP, optician or urgent medical review may be necessary.
As a GPhC-registered pharmacy with pharmacist-led clinical governance, patient safety and professional care remain central to every consultation.
Our clinic offers free on-site parking, refreshments during your visit and convenient access from across Greater Manchester.
