*I got rid of mine within 48 hours, Here's how*
Firstly, I washed my eyes (3 times a day) with icy cold water, with clean hands of course.
Then Wiped my eyes with clean towel,
Lastly I pored two drops of " *Euphrasia off* " on my eyes (3 times a day).

i have pink eye right now this helped me understand what was going on when i wake up there is yellow crust around my eye and it is glued shut at first and my eye is red this really helped thank you some much!

I just got pink eye for the first time that I can remember. It was originally in one eye and now it has spread to the other, but it’s not very serious in my newly infected eye. My eyes are pink and produce a lot of puss. They aren’t very irritated, but they tear up a lot. My vision gets slightly blurry occasionally, but I think it is just the puss over my pupil, because it goes away after I blink. I am sick, but I am not sure if it’s COVID-19. I have some symptoms of COVID-19, but they are also symptoms of a common cold. The symptoms I have are a sore throat, a cough, headaches, taste changes, and a runny nose. My sore throat is only from coughing at this point. My headaches were much better than my usual headaches. The extra mucus has made my tastes change, and the runny nose is a runny nose, not much to say about that one.

Very informative, it answers the questions I always have on pink eye.

[FitnessAndHealthHQ]

Both eyes are have; however, only one eye is hurting, what could it be?

[userwoods]

I have blurriness in one eye that has been going on for about a week. At one point, my eyelid was swollen. After quite a bit of research, and watching this, I do think I have some form of pink eye, but the blurriness is getting worse. Any suggestions? Also, not to sound creepy, but even with the blurry vision, I can see that you are very pretty!

Update: It's been several weeks since this post, and it turns out that it's not pink eye. It is severe inflammation, and it is in both eyes. I'm not sure what's causing it, but the lubricating eye drops they gave me aren't helping.

DO NOT USE A FACE MASK AS A SLEEP MASK without washing it at least
i did, and now my left eye keeps gluing shut and it almost feels like ive been pepper sprayed.
the actual eye doesnt hurt, but the skin around my eye is extremely sensitive, and its all SO ITCHY AHH

[montanawhite]

Mine started off with a sore throat and thick green mucus. In the morning I blow my nose and green mucus with blood comes out. Then it started with my left eye. Red with green mucus. It’s in both eyes now. Never had pinkeye before. Doctors here where I live are next to useless.

Thank you. I’m on antibiotic drops now. Your other video showed me how to instill the drops myself.

[lazdoundas]

Hello if we use the antibiotic eyedrop, how much days will it take for it to heal?

[Idk.]

[JCISMYSAVIOREVR]

[psychocat]

I’ve had a fear of pink eye ever since I was 4 where I got pink eye, and my eyes were so like… glued shut? That my mom spent half an hour every time I woke up to like… scrape it off.
