Can redness relief eyedrops work with pink eye?

Dr. Frederick Prall answered

No : These drops constrict the blood vessels on the surface of the eye and do make the eye look more white for a short time but they won't change the course of the infection that causes pink eye.

No: It will do nothing to accelerate the resolution of the pink eye.
