A member asked:
Is it possible that my son caught pink eye an hour after being exposed to it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Unless it is a traumatic red eye, pink eyes are caused usually by viruses that have much longer incubation periods than one hour. He may have been exposed much earlier by another source.
