I recently had pink eye not too long ago. I’m pretty sure it was from bacterial/viral, when I accidentally splashed water in my eye at work. I wear contacts, and I caught a cold at the same time I got pink eye. I had pink eye for a week and a half.
Same here. I never had it before. And after 30 years of my life I have it. I was at the urgent care for 2.5 hours yesterday and the doctor prescribed me drops for bacterial conjunctivitis.. 🥲 how long does this last?
Drink a cup of tea, then slap the warm tea bag on the eye, if that doesn't work then go see a doctor. The tannic acid in the tea bag kills the bacteria but will not harm the eye. I'm 70 and have never yet had an eye infection that that did not fix.
@@sweetblackguns I've always used black tea, it has to have tannic acid to be effective. The tannic acid will not sting or harm your eyes, and is strong enough to take out the bacteria. Anything that irritates your eyes can cause mild pinkeye, I used to get it from my sunscreen if the wind was blowing into my face. If the pinkeye does not go away overnight after the tea bag treatment, then see a doctor. It even works on pets with eye irritations. Its my standby for kittens.
Brenda Cooper thanks for your reply Brenda. My son has some sort of conjunctivitis and we got oflaxacin and it didn’t really work. Seeing second doctor tomorrow morning. I will try the black teabag for my stye. Thanks for sharing your experience!
@@carlossierra1761 um I’m good now. Haven’t got it since but just put in eye drops in and try to keep the outside clean brodie. And btw don’t get the redness eye drops.
My eyes have been so crusty when I wake up and for months now. I’ve been experiencing this and it’s driving me crazy and doctors haven’t been able to help me. I wish I could meet with a doctor as knowledgeable as you
If anyone has these symptoms and knows a product that can help me or anyone else I can buy over the counter or online please comment and let us know. Thanks
If anyone is reading my comment I’ve found out my issue and I’m treating it by both oral and topical allergy medicine. I use naphazoline pheniramine 0.026 to I put in my eyes and I take an oral allergy medication cetirizine 10 mg once a day and that’s helped my eyes. This is not a cure just a treatment but it’s given me much relief. Good luck everyone
I had it for 4 days, & my eye has finally turned white again! It’s day 6 today, still disinfecting everything I touch, still no makeup or contacts. Even though it feels all better, it’s just day 2 of it not being pink, when is it usually safe to go back to wearing my contacts and makeup again? I’ve never had it before and I literally got it right after a doctors appointment on Monday afternoon 😭
Oh nooo! Well I’m happy things turned back to normal for you. Typically, when the eye turns back to normal and you are done with any medications, such as antibiotic eye drops. It is usually ok to head back to contacts after that, but always be sure to use new contact lenses, if any more redness, pain or vision changes, contact your eye doctor asap
@@DoctorEyeHealth thank you so so so much for responding!! I’m medical personnel at work & it’s always embarrassing to ask for anything 🤦🏻♀️ I was told it was viral and there was nothing else to do but wait, compress and Motrin 🤷🏻♀️ lol thank God it feels a lot better, just feeling dry today is all.

Should I throw away that makeup, even if it was the day before I got infected? I didn’t wear any at all for work that Monday 🙊

@@DoctorEyeHealth hey doctor I got this redness in my eye yesterday and idk if I was from the chlorine from the pool or maybe something else it has lasted a day and my eye is itchy at times no burning sensations yet. I’m 10 years old. And my vision is great nothing has happened to my vision yet… But I want to know if chlorine can make your eye red for a period of time I told my mother and we might go to the eye doctor.
Bacterial conjunctivitis right now. Used to have it as a kid often I remember (used to have a monthly eye drop prescription to keep it at bay and also to treat it every time it popped up). Haven’t had it as an adult until now (age 35 years) and my gosh, it’s cruel. My eyelid is so puffed up it hardly opens. Blood vessels in eyeball super visable, that gritty feeling under the eyelid, strings of stuff weeping out. Saw the doctor yesterday after battling it for a week alone, and confirmed acute bacterial conjunctivitis. Given an eye ointment (golden eye ointment, in the uk) which includes antibiotics, 4 times a day for a week. After a day of using, although it looks no different, it feels different, the gritty feeling is lessening, pain is somewhat less. Still weeping gross stuff, but that will hopefully lessen and go within the week. Thanks for the video, all knowledge is useful.

Woke up with pink eye today. Put some eyedrops in, went to school, came home and put some more on and I already see the whites of my eye coming back. (My right eye seems to fall victim to pink eye way more than my left)
Can we please address the intense itching as well as the "hot sand under the eyelids" feeling?? I'm currently going through that and losing *major* sanity points with this bout of bacterial conjunctivitis and the oozing yellow-green nastiness. I've not had conjunctivitis since i was 5 years old. Ugh!
I just got pink eye symptoms for the first time in my life and I’m 42. Definitely didn’t expect to be going through this but I guess that I should make an eye doctor appointment.
I’ve been the most germaphobe person ever since my sophomore year of college (2017). Never encountered pink eye throughout my life. Today, I just got the pink eye in my left eye only. What a tragic I had to search up RUclips videos in treatments.
Love it when videos they say they’ll tell you how to do something (like get rid of pink eye), and then don’t tell you that at all. Great informative video, but clickbait title.
Keep Colloidal Silver on hand. A few drops several times a day will heal your pink eye quickly! And can be used on babies with no side effects. Also, don't forget zinc early.
Don't go out if it's windy or if you get caught out in the wind protect your eyes as much as possible. I got this from getting caught out in the wind and rain; it was very windy. Pink eye is very uncomfortable. Try not to rub or bother your eyes - it only makes it worse. It's uncomfortable.
For somebody suffering this for the first time in my life (early 40's) this is very informative, thank you!! I only have it in one of my eyes and it feels like a piece of sand is in there, red as sin, and constantly exuding clear (tears), but I also had some white gunk come out of it tonight and a drippy nose. I am not sure if I am viral or bacterial (or maybe there is actually sand in it).
@@youwishyouwere1ofone709 it eventually went away, however I used lubricating eye drops daily, mostly for allergies but might had something to do with it
When I was in boot camp we had a pink eye outbreak 2 days before graduation. My drill instructor dropped listerine in our eyes and literally the next morning it was gone. Home remedies at its finest it happened to him in Afghanistan.
Watching this when my eyes is swelling. I visited the doctor and she diagnosed it's conjunctivitis and she gave me an antibiotics that has steroids for 7 days. I hope my eyes will be healed.
Had a viral infection that went from my throat to my left ear, and then into my eyes. Let me tell you, it wasn't pink, but downright solid red throughout.
Can you remember how long it took for it to go? I’ve got it exactly the same including the ear and throat pain. I’ve got steroid drops which help with the uncomfortableness but doesn’t actually seem to be going a week into it.
@@laurencewoodward658 Well, from the throat and ear to the eyes, about a week. From the start of the eyes to its peak of infection, another week. From the peak of infection till leaving off, yep, you guessed it, another week. The only thing I got for the eyes was Visine for pink eye. Couldn't find anything else in regards to over-the-counter medication. Don't think it hastened its end, but it was a relief. One slight concern, it's rare, but I found on the internet that it may be a symptom of Covid, when I tested for Covid though that was negative.
@@andreasvmmclx honestly think it was about 3 weeks including multiple days in a completely dark room because bright lights were too much, it permanently scarred my cornea as well to the point where opticians won’t allow me to use certain types of contact lenses anymore. I had viral conjunctivitis though rather than bacterial.
Have pinkeye NOW; contracted 10 days ago, symptoms started 5 days after that, first in right eye, then left as well, It was Christmas holidays; no docs in offices; went to Urgent care on 6th day and given Polymyxin B Sulfate & Trimethoprim Ophth. After 3 days my eyes were worse so, Internist back in his office, he called in a second Rx which is helping somewhat: Neomycin & PolymyxinB Sulfates & Dexamethasone Ophth. Now my eyelids (all peri-eye lid skins) are fragile, flaky, itchy, burning yet; swelling is down; eyes a little less red; this is day 3 of the new Rx drops. Today is Sat. & considering calling my ophthalmologist Monday. I'm 74, Female, live alone, take Humera for psoriasis. Have not had any fever, greenish discharge is lessening, some throat irritation & ear drums a little congested. Any other suggestions? this is throwing me way off my ability to live constructively. And how long is this to last?
Thank u for ur info. It's really informative for preventing from infections. I usually bring wet tissues with me so that i can clean my handsand places any time. 😄 also I put eyedrops often in a day. I love ur comment ' only get two eyes, please take care'. Thanks for ur kind concern for ur audiences 🤗Looking forward to watching another video! 宜しく御願いします。 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
You helped me far more than the doctor I contacted today. Got viral Conjunctivitis here. got to my other eye real fast cause I didn't know it was contagious. after wasting Ibuprofen for 6 days, it is getting better now by itself.
I put bacitracin in my eye and it cleared it up fairly quickly. It’s weird having the jelly like substance under your eyelid but it was so soothing compared to the awful itchy sensation
I have the mucus but only in the morning, it also feels like there is something in my eye, also I have a sore throat and runny nose. Started last night a little bit of redness and felt something was in my eye so I rubbed it Ik that’s bad but.
Had conjunctivitis in February and now in April...again. in Feb, it went thru me and 3 of my kids. Starting with one of them. I got it the longest. Now here I am 2 months later with it AGAIN. I believe based on this video it's viral and I wish it was bacterial so at least SOMETHiNG would cure it
A couple days ago I got a bad sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, and fever. And then today I randomly developed pink eye because I have red irritated eye with mucus.
Thank you Doctor Eye Health you’ve helped me understand the different types of Pink eye and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the viral one as I had lots of tears . It’s almost gone now but I think I should go to the eye doctor 😅
I had pink eye for the first time in my life 3 years ago mine was viral. And my 4 year just got it. Hers we will see once she goes to her pediatrician tomorrow.
I got bacterial conjunctivitis, it’s so annoying. It just starts irritating my eye at random points of the day 😀 I was in class and it stung like heck and I said “ow!” And the entire class went silent and looked at me
@@TheJanayWellsShowI guess it would depend on how much concentration of salt there is. Most eyewash solution is water and salt or boric acid......but it's like 99% water
I had my eye itching for days and decided to remove the itchiness by rubbing it a ton of times today. That didn't end well, as of after I finished doing that I felt something in my eye. I thought I had a roach in there until I felt my eye skin a little loose and I started to cry, went to the mirror to find a sagging eye, and it was a pink color. Did research and found out I had pink eye with these symptoms. Thanks for this professional video and I will try to go to an eye doctor asap!
Definitely bacterial right now. Blew my nose too hard and some infected mucus got into my eye socket and now it's crusting up something fierce. Applying antibiotic eye drops regularly today 😢
I had double pink eye in USMC boot camp. One night my both eyelids were “glued” together by yellow goop. I had to have fire watch take me to the head to unstick my eyelids in the sink. The next day the DI wouldn’t let me go to medical so I squirted hand sanitizer into both of my eyes. My eyes were so itchy the burn felt great and it ended up curing me. Rah
I have red, watery, sticky, itchy, sore eye(s), burning sensation and discharge for the past 5 days, and still continues, been using drops obtained from over the counter pharmacy and not working. How long doesn’t this last for? How can I resolve this issue?
Well the best thing to do is contact your local eye clinic, they may be able to help you through telemedicine, otherwise they may feel you need to be seen in the clinic.
Literally I didn't think that this little thing will lead my situation hard.....I am actually suffering from conjunctivitis RN... And also it's hard to bear because sometimes it's itching, it's burning like hell and what not along with these all some of my friends r saying , "Hey virus what's up, heyy don't approach her she's a freaking virus" that's rly uncomfortable for me I hope I get well soon also to all the ppls here suffering from it ! GET WELL SOON
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you so much doctor and thanks again for elaborating about this viral pink eye I got to know many things which were unknown to me :)
I have pink eye right now in both eyes and so does my two year old. My eyes are a little red and itch with maybe a little yellow nastiness when I wake up in the morning but my son woke up with both his eyes sealed shut with gunk so yea, im pretty sure it’s bacterial. We’ve both started on antibiotic eye drops. Which was a nightmare at first trying to get them into my 2 years olds eyes…. but we finally figured out a solution now he lays down for me willingly 🙌🏻 I gotta go wipe down my house now, thanks for the knowledge!
@@sbirkkk hey how are you doing now I’m kinda worried cuz I started today noticing I had pink eye and I have watery tears can you please respond please
Very well explained. My left eye looks like the first on with some yellow discharge. I purchase Polysporin drops yesterday and I hope it will take care of it. It is better today at least. Thanks
I have had Allergic Conjuctivitis almost all my life and I am currently 23, grew up in a tropical region so it wasn't seasonal for me, it was constant. Although it's definitely better now but I am left with hyperpigmentation around my eyes, discoloration of conjuctiva and my eyes appear deeper also and still use OTC drops as needed.
*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).
Had a chalazion for 3 months and it’s finally reduced by 90% after hot compresses and massage but now I have pink eye in the same eye. Had pink eye for 10 days. Wouldn’t know anything is wrong with my eye unless I look in a mirror. What should I do?
I feel like I have something stuck in my eye, it’s so annoying and painful. No itchiness just pain and feeling like dirt is in it. Gonna get it checked out tomorrow
About seven years ago I got a sore right eye three years in a row. The first two times my doctor was treating it with steroids but the third year I explained to him it felt like dry eye with sand under the bottom eye lid. There was no inflammation and he prescribed artificial tears. When he gave me steroids it didn't really help but the artificial tears cleared it up real fast. I haven't had the sore red eyes since then though. Just an itch by my tear duct by my nose in the summer months. I don't think it was conjunctivitis. It was probably just dry eye or hay fever. But i at be wrong about that. I say it may be hay fever because in the summer months or high pollen days I get an itch in my eyes just by my nose and a bad headache to go with it.
I really don’t even know if I have conjunctivitis, because it definitely not watery? But I did have eye mucus just that color when I woke up. And now great. I’m so freaking scared if I’m gonna have my eyes shut tomorrow 😿 I pray I dont
I have it right now, and all the symptoms point to viral. I have no eye puss, my mom tried antihistamine eye drops and it did nothing. I’m just gonna have to wait it out
I am unable to sleep coz every time I close my eyes it's so itchy and it starts to water , feels like something is stuck on my eyelids. What do I do. It goes bad in just 10sec if close my eyes.
Same here it happening with me whole day it was ok as soon I went to sleep it got itchy . Dr clinic is also there in my building but cause of lockdown he is not coming.
@@carlossierra1761 hi, its been little better my eyes become less red. I figured out what is the reason. Its cause of dust. So i keep things very clean. Which i used to do before also. But more frequently i clean things around . Like two times a day. So dust particles dnt go in eyes.
@@kisarizvi5237ooh ok I’m glad your doing better but if ur like in a lot of dust you should wear goggles to protect your eyes or those glasses to protect your eyes form dust
Thanks for this. I had what I thought was conjunctivitis the last few days. Bathed eyes a couple of times with Optrex. They were not getting any better, so I had the bright idea of taking Cetirizine antihistamine allergy tablets. Took one. Already feeling better within 5 minutes. I think it probably is allergy, or possibly the cold virus, as there's a lot of that about presently [winter, UK].
I have had the allergic conjunctivitis. I put one drop of an allergic eyedrop in each eye and later in the day, I put 1 drop of silver colloidal in each eye. It was gone within 24 hours.
@@Ionsgod938Xtyw my eyes were like that, then I went to the doctor and regrettably took antibiotics. Then it came back right after that. I started the SILVER COLLIADOL and it went away. It's very important to drink some any time you apply it externally.
Well considering there are many types of "pink eye" it could be, or it could be an indication you have something else. Have you been able to see your eye doctor?
I'm 16 days in, the redness has nearly gone, but i am very sensitive to light and cannot use a computer, when I focus it aches. I was wondering can conjunctivitis cause iritis?
Same it's bullshit I can't believe this. I thought I just would put some eyedrops in and be cool but seems like I was mistaken. Popped up out of no place and I'm only on day two. Hopefully it'll go away ASAP
I used to pride myself on never getting sick/infections. Then I had a kid. Now I'm sick several times a year and apparently get pink eye too as of yesterday. Sigh....
Eye Health Question: When was the last time you had pink eye? Was it viral or bacterial?
I recently had pink eye not too long ago. I’m pretty sure it was from bacterial/viral, when I accidentally splashed water in my eye at work. I wear contacts, and I caught a cold at the same time I got pink eye. I had pink eye for a week and a half.

I just got pink eye symptoms for the first time in my life and I’m 42. Definitely didn’t expect to be going through this but I guess that I should make an eye doctor appointment.
I’ve been the most germaphobe person ever since my sophomore year of college (2017). Never encountered pink eye throughout my life. Today, I just got the pink eye in my left eye only. What a tragic I had to search up RUclips videos in treatments.
Did it go away by itself or you used any type of meds?
Plssss plsss plsss tell me 😭 it's freaking me out asf 😭😭😭
My dad literally just left my office with viral conjunctivitis...how “eyeronic!”👁👁 😂
Nice one!
eyelovelife What’s your IG?
Battle Talk LMAO
RIP your dad's eyes
Heater!!!
I have pink eye from a rough cold. My fever went away but I still have a cough and now my voice is gone. Good to know it’s viral.
I have only had a pink eye in first grade, now I somehow got a pink eye again.
How long did it take to cure?
@@yogeshm4283 a few days.
@@thatcrystalwolfy How
Love it when videos they say they’ll tell you how to do something (like get rid of pink eye), and then don’t tell you that at all. Great informative video, but clickbait title.
I'm
When you have to wait 3 months to see a doctor, can you give us some recommendations for the NOW
Keep Colloidal Silver on hand. A few drops several times a day will heal your pink eye quickly! And can be used on babies with no side effects. Also, don't forget zinc early.
Don't go out if it's windy or if you get caught out in the wind protect your eyes as much as possible. I got this from getting caught out in the wind and rain; it was very windy. Pink eye is very uncomfortable. Try not to rub or bother your eyes - it only makes it worse. It's uncomfortable.
For somebody suffering this for the first time in my life (early 40's) this is very informative, thank you!! I only have it in one of my eyes and it feels like a piece of sand is in there, red as sin, and constantly exuding clear (tears), but I also had some white gunk come out of it tonight and a drippy nose. I am not sure if I am viral or bacterial (or maybe there is actually sand in it).
Same
A fly hit my eye really hard and caused my eye to get this I’ve ever in my life had conjunctivitis and I’m 60!!
What did u use to treat it?
@@youwishyouwere1ofone709 it eventually went away, however I used lubricating eye drops daily, mostly for allergies but might had something to do with it
Sounds just like me same age too.
I had the bacterial pink eye I don’t know why people call it hell it feels good af to itch them
Michael Barrientos good way to really grind it into the cornea and make it worse!
i dont know I know man I just can’t help it lol
Not when you have contacts
It feels like there’s dirt in my eye and I can’t get it out it is hell.
The Legend Himself yesssss rah exactly wat it’s like
From the symptoms i have bacterial how long will it last and can it go away on its own without eye drops
When I was in boot camp we had a pink eye outbreak 2 days before graduation. My drill instructor dropped listerine in our eyes and literally the next morning it was gone. Home remedies at its finest it happened to him in Afghanistan.
Wow so that worked
Idk why but when you showed yourself with the red eyes I was like... did he give himself pink eye for the video? Damn😂😂
Haha!!! Right? I actually got shampoo in my eye that day and thought...this would make a good shot for a video. lol
Lol
never had pink eye yet lol but as a childcare worker just trying to learn myself about it more, very informative vid, thanks!
I woke up from a dream about bugs laying eggs in my bed, and then I woke up with bacterial pink eye :(
Watching this when my eyes is swelling. I visited the doctor and she diagnosed it's conjunctivitis and she gave me an antibiotics that has steroids for 7 days. I hope my eyes will be healed.
Did it heal??
I wash my hands constantly because of coronavirus and am super clean all the time. This is the first time I’ve ever had it. 😐
I'm a first timer, bacterial pink eye. It sucks. It spread to my other eye after one day. I'm on the drops from the doc now. 🤞 Great video
Hey thanks! I hope everything gets better soon for you!
Pinkeye question:my eyes are tearing up but I still have “ bacteria” around them
So what is the question?
Even i have it now.....
Amazing question
Thank you for letting me know what to do I was low key starting to Trip out but this video gave me some relief 😮💨
Had a viral infection that went from my throat to my left ear, and then into my eyes. Let me tell you, it wasn't pink, but downright solid red throughout.
Can you remember how long it took for it to go? I’ve got it exactly the same including the ear and throat pain. I’ve got steroid drops which help with the uncomfortableness but doesn’t actually seem to be going a week into it.
@@laurencewoodward658 Well, from the throat and ear to the eyes, about a week. From the start of the eyes to its peak of infection, another week. From the peak of infection till leaving off, yep, you guessed it, another week.
The only thing I got for the eyes was Visine for pink eye. Couldn't find anything else in regards to over-the-counter medication. Don't think it hastened its end, but it was a relief.
One slight concern, it's rare, but I found on the internet that it may be a symptom of Covid, when I tested for Covid though that was negative.
@@laurencewoodward658 how long did it took? I'm having the same thing right now
@@andreasvmmclx honestly think it was about 3 weeks including multiple days in a completely dark room because bright lights were too much, it permanently scarred my cornea as well to the point where opticians won’t allow me to use certain types of contact lenses anymore. I had viral conjunctivitis though rather than bacterial.
Have pinkeye NOW; contracted 10 days ago, symptoms started 5 days after that, first in right eye, then left as well, It was Christmas holidays; no docs in offices; went to Urgent care on 6th day and given Polymyxin B Sulfate & Trimethoprim Ophth. After 3 days my eyes were worse so, Internist back in his office, he called in a second Rx which is helping somewhat: Neomycin & PolymyxinB Sulfates & Dexamethasone Ophth. Now my eyelids (all peri-eye lid skins) are fragile, flaky, itchy, burning yet; swelling is down; eyes a little less red; this is day 3 of the new Rx drops. Today is Sat. & considering calling my ophthalmologist Monday. I'm 74, Female, live alone, take Humera for psoriasis. Have not had any fever, greenish discharge is lessening, some throat irritation & ear drums a little congested. Any other suggestions? this is throwing me way off my ability to live constructively. And how long is this to last?
Thank u for ur info. It's really informative for preventing from infections. I usually bring wet tissues with me so that i can clean my handsand places any time. 😄 also I put eyedrops often in a day. I love ur comment ' only get two eyes, please take care'. Thanks for ur kind concern for ur audiences 🤗Looking forward to watching another video! 宜しく御願いします。 🙇♀️🙇♀️🙇♀️
Thank you so much! Glad your enjoying the videos!
If u have time, please give us info about ''Central choroidopathy''. Thank u. 😃
You helped me far more than the doctor I contacted today. Got viral Conjunctivitis here. got to my other eye real fast cause I didn't know it was contagious. after wasting Ibuprofen for 6 days, it is getting better now by itself.
So helpful thank you so much doc . Such a live saver 🙂🐣
Wow thank you Charlie!!! Many blessings to you!
I put bacitracin in my eye and it cleared it up fairly quickly. It’s weird having the jelly like substance under your eyelid but it was so soothing compared to the awful itchy sensation
I have the mucus but only in the morning, it also feels like there is something in my eye, also I have a sore throat and runny nose. Started last night a little bit of redness and felt something was in my eye so I rubbed it Ik that’s bad but.
Sam Ask Must be part of the cold and flu season this year because I have it too, just when I was starting to get over my cold
I have the same exact thing right now
same thing here
2 eyes pink eye now... HATEEE
i have exactly the same thing how u doing bro?
Had conjunctivitis in February and now in April...again. in Feb, it went thru me and 3 of my kids. Starting with one of them. I got it the longest. Now here I am 2 months later with it AGAIN. I believe based on this video it's viral and I wish it was bacterial so at least SOMETHiNG would cure it
You should make a video on what causes pain behind the eye
Its idea's trying to escape!
I have one now, started today. Horrible, luckily I have a Dr appointment tomorrow morning.
2 days later.. did it go away? i have it for one week now
We need home remedies. Not prescription drugs!
A couple days ago I got a bad sore throat, cough, stuffy nose, and fever. And then today I randomly developed pink eye because I have red irritated eye with mucus.
This is a really helpful overview. Thank you
Happy to help! Glad you liked it.
Not the makeup🥲
But you’re right. Most of the time, my eye lids tear up from the eyeshadows.
Great video doctor I’m learning a lot from your videos👍👍
I haven't had pink eye in 10 years. got my second Pfizer vaccine , and about a week later somehow I got pinkeye or conjunctivitis as you call it
Same here but I got Moderna. Ugh
Thats crazy!!! I got the 2nd Pfizer shot 3 wks ago. Got sick Sunday and woke up Monday with pink eye...
Oh wow same here, interesting
Thank you Doctor Eye Health you’ve helped me understand the different types of Pink eye and I’m pretty sure I’ve got the viral one as I had lots of tears . It’s almost gone now but I think I should go to the eye doctor 😅
I have the symptoms of bacterial pink eye, but am also confused because I have the cold right now, which is a reason for the viral strand.
I had pink eye for the first time in my life 3 years ago mine was viral. And my 4 year just got it. Hers we will see once she goes to her pediatrician tomorrow.
Perfect video! The return to school time. Thank you.
I think so! Even though November and December are the peak months
So far i have watery pink eye for almost two weeks.
I might've caught it from riding the bus last week on thursday cuz i started last sunday.
I got bacterial conjunctivitis, it’s so annoying. It just starts irritating my eye at random points of the day 😀 I was in class and it stung like heck and I said “ow!” And the entire class went silent and looked at me
We used to flush the eye with salt water.
@@smrk2452wouldn't that burn like crazy? If artificial tears and eye ointment burns like crazy due to the inflammation, I can't imagine salt water.
@@TheJanayWellsShowI guess it would depend on how much concentration of salt there is. Most eyewash solution is water and salt or boric acid......but it's like 99% water
my kids have been home sick from school and my oldest sneezed in my face 🙃 next morning my left eye was swollen and crusty... gotta love kids
I had my eye itching for days and decided to remove the itchiness by rubbing it a ton of times today. That didn't end well, as of after I finished doing that I felt something in my eye. I thought I had a roach in there until I felt my eye skin a little loose and I started to cry, went to the mirror to find a sagging eye, and it was a pink color. Did research and found out I had pink eye with these symptoms. Thanks for this professional video and I will try to go to an eye doctor asap!
NEVER rub your eyes
Thank you. This video is very helpful, I think I have an idea about my problem
Glad it was helpful!
Definitely bacterial right now. Blew my nose too hard and some infected mucus got into my eye socket and now it's crusting up something fierce. Applying antibiotic eye drops regularly today 😢
I got it this morning. Haven’t had it since elementary school. Took out my contacts and threw them away.
Are there any foods to avoid when you have bacterial or viral pink eye? It seems like any carbs or sweets aggravates my eyes.
Avoid gluten, dairy, cheese, and sweets. Think KETO.
I had double pink eye in USMC boot camp. One night my both eyelids were “glued” together by yellow goop. I had to have fire watch take me to the head to unstick my eyelids in the sink. The next day the DI wouldn’t let me go to medical so I squirted hand sanitizer into both of my eyes. My eyes were so itchy the burn felt great and it ended up curing me. Rah
I have red, watery, sticky, itchy, sore eye(s), burning sensation and discharge for the past 5 days, and still continues, been using drops obtained from over the counter pharmacy and not working.
How long doesn’t this last for?
How can I resolve this issue?
Well the best thing to do is contact your local eye clinic, they may be able to help you through telemedicine, otherwise they may feel you need to be seen in the clinic.
I have it right now.
Me watching ⭕️👄👁️
Literally I didn't think that this little thing will lead my situation hard.....I am actually suffering from conjunctivitis RN... And also it's hard to bear because sometimes it's itching, it's burning like hell and what not along with these all some of my friends r saying , "Hey virus what's up, heyy don't approach her she's a freaking virus" that's rly uncomfortable for me I hope I get well soon also to all the ppls here suffering from it ! GET WELL SOON
Sorry you are dealing with that..hope you get well soon too.
@@DoctorEyeHealth Thank you so much doctor and thanks again for elaborating about this viral pink eye I got to know many things which were unknown to me :)
I've had it for a month now and been to the doctor and this is ridiculous
Earelle Reckley your pink eye gone now
is it gone ?
I have pink eye right now in both eyes and so does my two year old. My eyes are a little red and itch with maybe a little yellow nastiness when I wake up in the morning but my son woke up with both his eyes sealed shut with gunk so yea, im pretty sure it’s bacterial. We’ve both started on antibiotic eye drops. Which was a nightmare at first trying to get them into my 2 years olds eyes…. but we finally figured out a solution now he lays down for me willingly 🙌🏻 I gotta go wipe down my house now, thanks for the knowledge!
aaah i have it right now on my right eye. sucks to have it 😭🤧
I just woke up with one. Googlet it instantly.
I am 42 and just got pink eye for the first time. Got mine from a kid that came over for the weekend.
I'm having conjunctivitis right now and it sucks. Soooo many tears (waaaahh 🤧💦💦)
Same but we'll get better 🙂
@@sbirkkk hey how are you doing now I’m kinda worried cuz I started today noticing I had pink eye and I have watery tears can you please respond please
Very well explained. My left eye looks like the first on with some yellow discharge. I purchase Polysporin drops yesterday and I hope it will take care of it. It is better today at least. Thanks
Did it work?
I have had Allergic Conjuctivitis almost all my life and I am currently 23, grew up in a tropical region so it wasn't seasonal for me, it was constant. Although it's definitely better now but I am left with hyperpigmentation around my eyes, discoloration of conjuctiva and my eyes appear deeper also and still use OTC drops as needed.
Use anti alergic medicine
I used an anti allergenic eye drop (one in each eye) and then before bed I put one drop of silver colloidal in each eye and it was gone in 24 hours.
@@samsmom400Do you have to use Silver Colloidal everyday?
*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).
Had a chalazion for 3 months and it’s finally reduced by 90% after hot compresses and massage but now I have pink eye in the same eye. Had pink eye for 10 days. Wouldn’t know anything is wrong with my eye unless I look in a mirror. What should I do?
I feel like I have something stuck in my eye, it’s so annoying and painful. No itchiness just pain and feeling like dirt is in it. Gonna get it checked out tomorrow
About seven years ago I got a sore right eye three years in a row. The first two times my doctor was treating it with steroids but the third year I explained to him it felt like dry eye with sand under the bottom eye lid. There was no inflammation and he prescribed artificial tears. When he gave me steroids it didn't really help but the artificial tears cleared it up real fast. I haven't had the sore red eyes since then though. Just an itch by my tear duct by my nose in the summer months.
I don't think it was conjunctivitis. It was probably just dry eye or hay fever. But i at be wrong about that. I say it may be hay fever because in the summer months or high pollen days I get an itch in my eyes just by my nose and a bad headache to go with it.
Well I'm happy things cleared up for you!
Well I'm happy your doing better!
I really don’t even know if I have conjunctivitis, because it definitely not watery? But I did have eye mucus just that color when I woke up. And now great. I’m so freaking scared if I’m gonna have my eyes shut tomorrow 😿 I pray I dont
the best defense we have against pink eye is our immune system
I have it right now, and all the symptoms point to viral. I have no eye puss, my mom tried antihistamine eye drops and it did nothing. I’m just gonna have to wait it out
I am unable to sleep coz every time I close my eyes it's so itchy and it starts to water , feels like something is stuck on my eyelids. What do I do. It goes bad in just 10sec if close my eyes.
Same here it happening with me whole day it was ok as soon I went to sleep it got itchy . Dr clinic is also there in my building but cause of lockdown he is not coming.
@@kisarizvi5237 hey same thing how are u doing now?
@@carlossierra1761 hi, its been little better my eyes become less red. I figured out what is the reason. Its cause of dust. So i keep things very clean. Which i used to do before also. But more frequently i clean things around . Like two times a day. So dust particles dnt go in eyes.
@@kisarizvi5237ooh ok I’m glad your doing better but if ur like in a lot of dust you should wear goggles to protect your eyes or those glasses to protect your eyes form dust
Thanks for this. I had what I thought was conjunctivitis the last few days. Bathed eyes a couple of times with Optrex. They were not getting any better, so I had the bright idea of taking Cetirizine antihistamine allergy tablets. Took one. Already feeling better within 5 minutes. I think it probably is allergy, or possibly the cold virus, as there's a lot of that about presently [winter, UK].
Awesome content thank you!!!
thank you! Glad you like it!
I have bad Allergies. During the spring, my eyes are super red and Painful. It’s an Allergic type of Pink eye. I use Refresh Tears eye drops
My eye is just red and I woke up with the smallest amount of crust towards the inner eye, but my eye doesn’t hurt ?
Desiree Saldana exactly me right now its swollen and red and watery and only my left eye
I have had the allergic conjunctivitis. I put one drop of an allergic eyedrop in each eye and later in the day, I put 1 drop of silver colloidal in each eye. It was gone within 24 hours.
Rn i have bacterial conjunctivitis i can't even open my eyes when I wake up
@@Ionsgod938Xtyw my eyes were like that, then I went to the doctor and regrettably took antibiotics. Then it came back right after that. I started the SILVER COLLIADOL and it went away. It's very important to drink some any time you apply it externally.
My pink eye hasn’t healed for two weeks and I’m just asking is this normal
Well considering there are many types of "pink eye" it could be, or it could be an indication you have something else. Have you been able to see your eye doctor?
I'm 16 days in, the redness has nearly gone, but i am very sensitive to light and cannot use a computer, when I focus it aches. I was wondering can conjunctivitis cause iritis?
My eye is just eye irritation if your eye is hurting because of the light that’s one of the reason u have the same thing as me
39 years on this earth and this is my first time getting pink eye.
Same it's bullshit I can't believe this. I thought I just would put some eyedrops in and be cool but seems like I was mistaken. Popped up out of no place and I'm only on day two. Hopefully it'll go away ASAP
I've never had pink eye in my 17 years of life
I used to pride myself on never getting sick/infections. Then I had a kid. Now I'm sick several times a year and apparently get pink eye too as of yesterday. Sigh....
