Are you worried that one or both of your eyes might be infected? Turn to Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for eye infection treatment. Founded in 2008, we proudly offer urgent care for pink eye (conjunctivitis) and a wide range of other non-life-threatening eye infections in Connecticut and New York. We treat patients of all ages, we’re in-network with most major health insurance plans, and we offer affordable self-pay rates for uninsured individuals.
Eye infections can be caused by various microorganisms—such as bacteria, fungi, parasites, and viruses—and can affect almost any part of the eye. Some of the most common types of eye infections include:

If you’re experiencing symptoms like these, it’s important that you promptly seek treatment. Leaving an eye infection untreated could lead to serious complications, including vision loss. Plus, because many eye infections are highly contagious, failing to seek treatment could increase your chances of passing on your infection to someone else.
The appropriate course of treatment for an eye infection will depend on numerous factors, including the type of infection present and the severity of the infection. For example, pink eye can be caused by bacteria or viruses, but medical providers will only prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections.
When you visit Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for eye infection treatment, we’ll ask you about the symptoms you’ve been experiencing and perform a thorough examination. Based on that, we’ll accurately diagnose what’s causing your symptoms and provide you with customized care recommendations. And if we determine that you need further treatment, we’ll be happy to refer you to the appropriate specialist.
