It's safe now: Even without treatment, adults with conjunctivitis (pink eye) to stay away from work. Not true for young children, who need to be kept from school, day care, etc. (Usually a virus, not helped by antibiotic.) Reduce risk to others by avoiding direct contact, frequent alcohol gel (e.g. Purel) and hand washing. It's certainly safe to return to work if the eye is no longer pink and irritated.
