Ive tried a few I found on google like the green tea bag on the eye (no pun intended), eye drops and washing the eye out. Anyone have some remedies they tried before that work? I think i got it from working under the car and something got in my eye and stayed there. The things i do for drifting... dammit


Seriously, i need something that actually works because this shit hurts and my right eye is blurry as fuck...

NO SOMEONE DID NOT FART ON MY PILLOW

Wash your hands after you're done with yourself... if you know what I mean.

I honestly have no idea.
The above statement is just the first thing I think of when it comes to pink eye.
aaaaand I thought I'd waste bandwidth to let you know this.




good luck

Any reason you aren't going to the doctor? They will give you prescription eye drops. Watch yourself too, it contagious as fuck.

What Are the Treatments for Pink Eye?

Traditionally, home remedies have been sufficient for soothing pink eye associated with uncomplicated colds, minor infections, or allergies. Treatment consists primarily of cleansing the eyes and preventing the condition from spreading.
To relieve discomfort of bacterial or viral pink eye, apply a warm compress for 5 to 10 minutes, three to four times a day. Preservative-free artificial tears can be frequently applied. Never use steroid eye drops without a doctor's prescription.
For allergic pink eye, place a cool compress on your closed eye and use nonprescription eye drops to relieve itching and burning. If the condition does not improve in three days, consult your doctor.
Viral pink eye usually runs its course in one to two weeks. Because it is not caused by bacteria, viral conjunctivitis does not respond to antibiotics. Artificial tears will also help relieve symptoms of pink eye.
Pink eye caused by the herpes virus may be treated with antiviral eye drops, ointment, and/or antiviral pills.
For bacterial pink eye, the treatment will probably call for antibiotic eye drops or ointment. This generally clears the symptoms within a few days. Be sure to complete the full course of antibiotic therapy. For more stubborn cases, an oral antibiotic may be prescribed. Oral antibiotics are routinely prescribed for pink eye caused by gonorrhea or chlamydia. Sexual partners are also treated.
Allergic pink eye should respond to topic vasoconstrictors, antihistamines, or steroid eye drops. Repeating an earlier warning, you should never apply steroid drops for any eye symptoms without a doctor's prescription.
If your pink eye symptoms do not appear to be associated with a cold or allergy, you may want to see your primary care provider or local eye doctor for a more comprehensive evaluation.

do you have a lot of sticky stuffs on your eye, especially after you slept? if so, it might be bacterial infeciton. if not, might be viral origin.

or you can just go ask a pharmacist for their recommendation

if you have crusty discolored shat in your eye when you wake up, it's a bacterial infection. Tobramycin will fix that up. you need a prescription for that though. The bacteria could be a non serious form of staph infection. You can get staph infections from blowing your nose and touching your eye after. Hard to believe that people have staph bacteria living naturally in your body. Usually an infection occurs when your immune system is overloaded or weakened by stress or if you gots the aids.

what my buddy did when he had the pink eye is when he was in the shower, he told me that he took a good antibacterial bar soap (Dial, dove, etc) and rubbed it on his eye, eyelids, around the eye, etc and it cleared up withing 2-3 days. try that.. it might burn like fuck.. but what more can go wrong... you have pink eye already. lol..

dont forget to rub your eyes with your hand and shake the hand of people you dont like.

Just get some eye drops. There's no need to put soap, lime/lemon in your eye. Those things burn like crazy anyways.

had this before once while stuck on a 13 hr flight.
went to an eye doctor and he prescribed regular eye drops & covering the eye in some rag soaked in hot water for 10 mins.
aspirin & other painkillers help alleviate the irritation somewhat.
