Allergic conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva - the lining of the eye - due to allergies. This type of pink eye can usually be confirmed by your doctor based on your symptoms and patient history. Although, to narrow down which allergens are causing the symptoms, a skin test may be helpful. Allergic conjunctivitis is non-contagious.
