When you visit our clinic, we use our special imaging technology to carry out in-depth eye assessments to capture the health of your eyes, particularly the surface of the conjunctiva.
 
Our friendly technicians will guide you through these easy assessments to appropriately diagnose your conjunctivitis before meeting your ophthalmologist.
 
In your private consultation, your ophthalmologist will talk you through your diagnosis and conjunctivitis treatment.

What is included in my private consultation?

A private consultation with our ophthalmologist is an all-inclusive cost of £200

This includes:

Advanced Technology

Advanced care for conjunctivitis in North London.

Bacterial

Our ophthalmologist will prescribe a short course of antibiotic drops and monitor your eyes until your conjunctivitis is successfully eliminated.

Viral

Our ophthalmologist can make viral conjunctivitis symptoms more comfortable for you with lubricating conjunctivitis eye drops.

These eye drops will help remissen your symptoms while the body removes the virus.

Allergic

Allergic conjunctivitis is best treated by avoiding the causative allergen, but if that is not possible, then our ophthalmologist will prescribe anti-allergy drops such as antihistamine.

I can’t thank My-iclinic enough, Bola Odufuwa-Bolger and the team she has around her have just been fantastic, I’m over the moon with how my surgery has gone. This has been in the making for the last 5 months so I’m glad we have been able to get the surgery done.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding care from start to finish I am writing this review on behalf of Mr. Alan Nathan Gershon (Mr G), whom I care for. At 95 years old, he attended myiClinic London on 12 August 2026 for a YAG laser procedure, which was initially planned for his left eye only. From the moment we arrived, every member of staff was welcoming, kind, respectful, and professional. We were treated with genuine care and dignity throughout our visit. A special thank you goes to Ms. Bola Odufuwa-Bolger, the Clinic Director and Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeon. Her patient-centred approach was exceptional. During the assessment, she carefully discovered that although Mr. G's left eye had the thicker after-cataract, his right eye was also affected. The procedure took much longer than expected, but she remained patient, meticulous, and determined to achieve the best possible outcome. After the procedure, she felt the left eye might need to be redone. However, by the very next day, Mr. G's eyesight had improved remarkably. He now enjoys a renewed lease of vision—he can even read without his prescription glasses, something that has made an enormous difference to his quality of life. We are also incredibly grateful to Catalina Tomulescu, the Ophthalmic Technician, whose kindness and support were wonderful, as well as every member of the team who cared for Mr. G. As his carer, I left feeling humbled by the compassion, respect, and professionalism shown to us. Mr. G is deeply thankful for everything the myiClinic team has done. Thank you all for your outstanding work—please keep doing what you're doing. You have given a 95-year-old gentleman the priceless gift of seeing the world more clearly again.

My-iClinic in Whetstone, North London is, quite simply, the best. I went there for a bilateral cataract procedure, and the surgical team's depth of technical expertise, professionalism, care and empathy are all beyond compare. The results speak for themselves, but I will also do so anyway: following the procedure, I now have vision better than at any point in my life to date, even with contacts. All my thanks go to Bola and her team. My advice: if you have vision issues, do not waste your time going anywhere else- go to My-iClinic and say I sent you!!

Type Typical Clues Contagious? First-Line Treatment Time to Settle Self-Care Tips Red Flags (Seek Care)
Viral Watery discharge, burning/gritty feel, recent cold; often starts in one eye then spreads Yes Supportive care (cool compresses, preservative-free lubricating drops); hygiene to prevent spread 1–2 weeks (can be longer) Hand hygiene, avoid sharing towels/pillows, pause contact lenses Severe pain, light sensitivity, worsening blur, new floaters
Bacterial Thick yellow/green discharge, lids stuck on waking, less itch than allergic Yes Topical antibiotics if confirmed or strongly suspected; lid cleaning; stop contact lenses 2–5 days after starting drops Warm compresses for crusts, replace lens cases, discard old eye makeup Severe redness/pain, no improvement in 48–72h, fever, contact-lens wear with pain
Allergic Intense itch, watery discharge, both eyes, seasonal or trigger-related No Antihistamine/mast-cell stabiliser drops; cool compresses; avoid triggers Days to weeks (with control) Shower after outdoor exposure, saline rinse, sunglasses as barrier Swelling shutting the eye, eczema around lids, vision drop
Irritant/Chemical Stinging after exposure (chlorine, smoke, sprays), usually clears once removed No Immediate copious rinsing; preservative-free lubricants; avoid further exposure Hours to 1–2 days if mild Protective eyewear, check pool chlorine, switch to gentle cosmetics Chemical burn suspected, persistent pain/redness, blurred vision

Conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is the outermost coat of your eye. It covers all of the white part and the back of the eyelids and the condition is a common, typically self-limiting inflammation and has many causes.
 

Conjunctivitis may be caused by a bacterial infection, a viral infection or an allergic reaction. Conjunctivitis is usually quickly eliminated by antibiotics which treat each cause.

  • Bacterial infections can cause conjunctivitis when people with the infection and/or contaminated objects make contact with the eyes.
  • Viruses are also common causes of conjunctivitis, but it takes longer for the body’s immune system to remove them.
  • Pollen, chemicals and other irritants can cause conjunctivitis. Allergens can cause allergic conjunctivitis.
  • A burning or gritty sensation

Pterygium (PTE) is an overgrowth of the conjunctiva which forms extra scar tissue on the surface of your eye and at the front of the cornea. In extreme cases, this can cause vision loss. If you are experiencing a pterygium growing, you may be experiencing irritation and inflammation of your eye.
