See details: See an ophthmologist to be sure it is not the result of significant inflammation. It may just be an allergy or virus but it may be more serious.

Can I use eye drops to treat the redness from pink eye? I'm using an antibiotic cream from my doctor to cure my pink eye, but it doesn't treat the redness. Is it safe to use visine or something similar to make my eyes less bloodshot?
