A member asked:
When you have pink-eye can you use "red eye" drops along with your pink-eye medication?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Red eye drops often irritate the eyes more. Also, the eyes become more red when the effect of the drop wears off. I don't recommend using "red eye" drops at any time.
