A member asked:
Can you tell me if it's okay to use eye drops for pink eye.. pharmacist or doctor please.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pink eye: Pink eye is usually due to a virus, which will clear on its own in 7-10 days. The concern is the first 2-3 days during which it is highly contagious. Drops are given for comfort, and to prevent secondaary bacterial infection.
