Maybe: This could be a viral or bacterial infection.It could also be a reaction to wind borne allergens, chance exposure to chemicals or foreign material.The term pink eye encompasses many issues that make your eye red, and it will take an office visit to sort it out if it lasts more than a few hours or days.

Eye Infection: You could have conjunctivitis, which is also known as an eye infection. You should see your doctor to make sure you do not need antibiotic eye drops.
