Pink Eye: Pink eye is when the white part of your eye becomes pink. There are many causes. Bacteria typically no pain and has a green discharge. Viral typically feels like sand in your eye and causes tearing and sensitivity to light. Allergies typically itch. Your eye can also look pink if a foreign body is in it or you scratched it. If this is your case, flush it with artificial tears or boric acid
