A member asked:
Will pinkeye spread if we've shared a microscope?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Please make sure to not share any thing with someone else( towel, makeup, pillow etc). Your tears are contagious. You want to avoid direct contact. The microscope head needs to be sterilized if its infected.
