A member asked:

I just finished taking a shower and the white part of my eye turned pink. it doesn't hurt or anything will it turn white again and what does this mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Episcleritis: Sounds like episcleritis, irritation to the surface of the eye. Most likely due to irritation from soap, shampoo, water, etc. It should go away with time. Artificial tears may help as well.
