The 'sticky' sign of a ‘common’ eye infection - worse in the mornings - Express

  • Your baby has red eyes – get an urgent appointment if your baby is less than 28 days old
  • You wear contact lenses and have conjunctivitis symptoms as well as spots on your eyelids – you might be allergic to the lenses
