Signs and symptoms include unilateral or bilateral eye redness, foreign body sensation and follicular conjunctival reaction.
Questions regarding signs and symptoms (eg duration, exacerbating factors, character of the discharge), exposure to an infected individual, recent surgery or trauma, and use of topical or systemic medications should be elicited.
Treatment is symptomatic; there is no effective treatment against the adenovirus.
