A member asked:
How long will my eye remain red after starting eyedrops for pink eye? started drops 2 days ago and my eye still is quite red.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A week or less: Drops do not significantly alter the course of pink eye, which does not need treatment. It gets better on its own. Most cases resolve within a week. If your eye does not get better, see an eye md.
