Could using the computer while having pink eye affect it in any way?

No: It may be difficult to use your computer, but using it will not harm your eyes. Remember that it is very contagious and that you can reinfect yourself with a dirty keyboard. Excercise strict handwashing precaution. Get an exam when in doubt.
