Patient discussion about pinks.

Q. How to treat a pink eye? I have pink eye in my left eye. It's very uncomfortable, how can I treat it?

A. You can either see a Doctor and he can prescribe some medication for it or you can treat it at home as follows:
First, prevent spreading the infection to the other eye and to other people. Pinkeye can be very contagious, so limit your contacts until you are better.
Carefully wash your hands every time you touch around your eye.
Keep your own towels, washcloths, and pillows separate from others.
Wash or change your pillowcase every day until the infection goes away.
Do not touch your infected eye with your fingers. Use tissues to wipe.
Do not wear eye makeup. Do not share eye makeup.
Do not wear your contact lenses until the infection is gone.
Put a warm compress, such as a washcloth soaked in warm water, on your eye for a few minutes, 3-4 times a day.
Do not put a patch over your eye. It may cause the infection to become worse.
Do not use eyedrops for more than a few days unless instructed by your ophthalmologist.
