A member asked:

Does pink eye cause a scratching sensation against your eyeball? it feels like something is constantly scratching it and is so uncomfortable

5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Yes: The scratching feeling represents involvement of the cornea in the infection. Your doctor will typically patch the eye for comfort. He/she may add antibiotic drops and/or a dilator as well. You'll feel better within 3 days.
