Pink Eye: Pink eye is a problem. It is only a term that says the eyes are reddish pink. Usually due to a mild viral infection, the eyes may become "reddish pink" in other severe conditions, like uveitis, acute glaucoma. Therefore, a diagnosis by an ophthalmologist is essential. The most challenging part in medicine and surgery is making the diagnosis.

Not necessarily: Redness is just a sign of ocular surface inflammation. Dry eye disease does cause ocular surface inflammation, but so does an infection, allergic or chemical exposure. Have you eyes examined to determine the reason your eyes are inflamed.
