See doctor: See and ophthalmologist, you may have herpetic eye infection, ulcer, uveitis, tumor or other vision threatening condition that needs treatment. If you truly just have a viral conjunctivitis then wash hands frequently and try not to spread to other eye or others. There realy is no good treatment and it will take 7-21 days to clear up. You can use moisture tear drops or possibly a steroid drops.

Viral conjunctivitis: Viral infection on the inner part of the eyelid and thin moist "skin"covering the eyeball-called the conjunctiva is called "conjunctivitis." you infect your eye when you touch a surface (or person) with the virus and rub your eye-transfering the virus. Frequent hand washing helps prevent this. Sharing towels or pillows can also cause infection. Antibiotics don't work. Just time 7-14 days.
