Pink eye can be caused by various factors, including irritation, allergies, infections, or underlying health conditions. Persistent redness may indicate a more serious issue, such as conjunctivitis, dry eye syndrome, or even autoimmune disorders. It's crucial to recognize that red eyes can be a symptom rather than a standalone condition.
