Conditions we treat

Pink Eye Treatment Online in Tennessee

Pink eye spreads fast and waits for no one's schedule. A licensed Tennessee provider can evaluate your eye by video, same day, 7 days a week, and prescribe drops when appropriate.

Book Your Visit

Not for emergencies. If you have chest pain, difficulty breathing, or serious symptoms, call 911.

What we treat

Symptoms we treat

If these symptoms sound familiar, a same-day telehealth visit is a good place to start.

  • Redness in one or both eyes
  • Itching, burning, or a gritty feeling
  • Watery or thick discharge
  • Crusting around the eyelids, especially in the morning
  • Mild sensitivity to light
  • Pink eye in kids who need a note to return to school or daycare

Treatment

How online pink eye care works

Pink eye can be viral, bacterial, or allergic, and each is treated differently. A video visit can help your provider look at common causes of pink eye and decide whether treatment or an in-person eye exam is needed.

  • A licensed Tennessee provider examines your eye by video and reviews your symptoms
  • Antibiotic drops are prescribed when a bacterial infection is likely
  • Guidance for viral and allergic pink eye, which drops help and which don't
  • Advice on keeping it from spreading through your household, plus school or work notes

Transparent pricing

$52

Same-day self-pay

$150

Billed self-pay

$52 is our same-day discount: pay on the day of your visit and that flat rate is all you pay. If you choose to be billed instead of using the same-day discount, the visit is billed at $150, never both. Includes 48–72 hour follow-up care. HSA/FSA and most major insurance plans accepted.

Know when to go in

When in-person care is the safer choice

For emergencies, call 911. If you have severe or urgent symptoms that may need in-person care, go to your local urgent care or emergency department. Examples include:

  • Something stuck in your eye, or the feeling that something is stuck
  • Severe eye pain
  • An eye swollen shut
  • Significant changes in your vision
  • Significant light sensitivity
  • A chemical splash
  • Symptoms in a newborn

These are examples, not a complete list. If your provider determines that telehealth isn't the right level of care for your symptoms and sends you for in-person evaluation, you won't be charged for the TPH visit.
