After i blink with my pink eye medicine do i wash it out?

No need: Your eye is efficient at washing itself out and any excess fluid in the eye will either go over the cheek with the next blink or pass down the plumbing that connects the lining of the eye with the nose. So you don't need to wash it out unless it is irritating.

No: You actually help to distribute the medication across the eye so it can effectively treat the infection
