Yes, : Yes, your co-worker can spread "pink-eye", also known as viral conjunctivitis, if he is not careful. He should avoid sharing towels at home, wash his hands after contact with his children, avoid eye rubbing, and avoid sharing eye drops. You can do the same in your office to avoid contracting it yourself.

Pink eye: To avoid transmitting the pink eye, wash hands frequently, avoid contact with those infected or those with sick contacts.
