How do i prevent pink eye?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Preventing pink eye: To prevent pink eye- Avoid close contact with people who have pink eye (as nose/throat droplets can spread infection). Your hands can become infected by touching secretions on someone's hand or on contaminated surfaces. Wash hands often – especially before touching your eyes.
