What can i do to stop chronic pink eye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hand Hygiene: If it is really recurrent pink eye you should see an eye doctor. Most likely however it is allergic conjunctivitis and may respond to eye drops like patanol (olopatadine). A chronic tear duct infection may also be the issue and it may need probing. If you are getting recurrent infections it might also be that (like teachers and pediatricians) you are repeatedly exposed and reinfected by your hands.
