A member asked:
My eyes both are looking "bloodshot" and hurting and getting some gunk in them do you think it's pink eye and do i need to go to the doctor?

Yes: Going to the doctor, the answer is yes. In all likelihood, you have a bacterial conjunctivitis but that's from afar. Your doctor can see you and make the best diagnosis and treatment.
