Common pink eye medications

Your Amazon One Medical provider will determine which (if any) pink eye treatment is medically appropriate for you based on your symptoms and health history. If you're prescribed medication, pick it up at a pharmacy of your choice. The cost of your prescribed medication may be covered by health insurance.

Frequently asked questions

About Amazon One Medical

What are my telehealth options for this condition?
Amazon One Medical offers multiple ways to get care from the comfort of your own home.

If you're a One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can schedule Remote Visits with One Medical providers, which are billable to you or your health insurance. As a member, you can also get 24/7 on-demand virtual care with Treat Me Now or Urgent Video Chat via the One Medical app at no extra cost, no matter where you live in the United States.

If you're not a One Medical member, you can start a one-time virtual visit with Pay-per-visit. Pay-per-visit offers two types of telehealth for Amazon customers: video visits and message-only visits. Video visits are available for $49 in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are currently available for $29 in 34 states.

To see your Pay-per-visit options, first choose your state.
Can I use my health insurance for Pay-per-visit?
Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for Pay-per-visit care. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for your one-time virtual visit.

If you normally use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through all Amazon One Medical services. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.
What happens if my provider can't diagnose or treat my health issue through Amazon One Medical Pay-per-visit?
If your provider can’t diagnose or treat your health issue through Pay-per-visit, they may recommend that you see a primary care provider or a specialist for in-person care. If that happens, you won't be charged.
Can I communicate with a provider after I get my Pay-per-visit treatment plan?
Yes. When you use Pay-per-visit, you can message with One Medical providers within your personal dashboard for an additional 2 weeks (14 days) at no extra cost. This complimentary communication window allows you time to:
Ask follow-up questions about any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications in your treatment plan

• Connect with a provider if you think your treatment needs to be adjusted

• Tell a provider if you're experiencing side effects from your medication

• Tell a provider if there's an issue getting your prescription from the pharmacy

• Let the One Medical care team know that you're feeling better
Your secure, HIPAA-compliant message will be received by the first available provider, who will be able to review your visit’s treatment plan and any follow-up correspondence. If you still need treatment adjustments or have questions after the 14-day communication window, you'll need to start a new visit.
What if I want to refill my medication?
If your provider didn't include refills with a prescription when they sent your treatment plan through Pay-per-visit, you'll need to start a new one-time virtual visit to request another prescription.

There are many reasons why a provider may decide that prescription refills aren't medically appropriate. For example, they may want to assess how well a medication is working and whether or not it needs to be adjusted before you continue with the same treatment.
How does Amazon One Medical protect my health information?
Amazon One Medical protects customers’ protected health information (PHI) with stringent, Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)-compliant privacy and security practices to keep information safe and secure.

We’re committed to building an infrastructure that fosters and promotes a culture of customer privacy and a strong commitment to safeguarding health information. We maintain administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect customer information. This includes conducting rigorous security reviews and testing during product development, using encryption to protect data, and providing features like two-step verification to help customers protect their accounts.

Amazon does not sell customers’ personal information, including PHI.

About pink eye treatment

Can I get pink eye treatment for a child through Pay-per-visit?
No. We understand that pink eye (conjunctivitis) can be highly contagious and may spread within households, but only adults (ages 18 to 64) can get treatment through Pay-per-visit at this time.

If a child (under 18) has pink eye symptoms, they'll need to be treated by a family medicine provider. One Medical membership offers treatment for children at its Pediatric office locations.
Is pink eye infectious?
Pink eye can be infectious or noninfectious. If you have bacterial or viral pink eye, your infection can spread to someone else. If you have allergic pink eye, you can't infect someone else.

To help prevent a viral or bacterial pink eye infection from spreading, wash your hands often and don't share tissues, towels, pillowcases, or any other personal items.
How do I know what kind of pink eye I have?
Your eye symptoms can help determine what kind of conjunctivitis you have:
Allergic conjunctivitis

Redness, itchiness, and watery discharge in both eyes

Bacterial conjunctivitis

Redness and thick discharge, usually in one eye

Viral conjunctivitis

Redness, a gritty or sandy sensation, and watery discharge in one eye, usually followed by the other eye within 2 days. Viral pink eye is often preceded by mild cold or flu symptoms from a common adenovirus. Most adult cases of conjunctivitis are viral.
It's important for a provider to know what's causing your pink eye so they can prescribe the right conjunctivitis treatment and help relieve your eye symptoms.
What other conditions can cause pink or red eyes?
Though conjunctivitis (inflammation of the conjunctiva) is the most common cause of eye redness and discharge, multiple conditions can cause red or pink eyes, including the following:
Blepharitis*

When your eyelids are irritated and inflamed

Contact lens overwear

Which can cause dryness or abrasions

Corneal abrasion

When the surface of the cornea experiences a trauma like a scratch

Stye (hordeolum)*

When you have a painful lump on the eyelid

Subconjunctival hemorrhage

When a strain like a violent sneeze causes broken blood vessels in the eye
If you sense a foreign body in your eye, can't keep your eye open, have had recent eye trauma, experience vision changes, develop light sensitivity, or have severe eye pain, telehealth isn't the most appropriate option for you. You'll need to see a primary care provider for an in-person evaluation as soon as possible.
