How long does pink eye remain contagious on sunglasses after an infected person wore them?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Viruses can last: inrder to infect the sunglasses the person would have to contaminate them with liquid infected with the virus. Viruses are able to survive several days or longer in some instances so it would be best to simply wipe them with a disinfectant cloth. That should kill the virus quickly

Soap and water: Wash them off and it should not be a problem.
