Blepharitis, can be treated by care-full attention to hygiene of the eyes. Try using a Baby hair shampoo, mix approx. 1 teaspoon of shampoo with a half pint of fairly warm water, then take some cotton buds and dip them in the solution, wipe across the closed eyelid, from the nose out over and discard the cotton bud, use one cotton bud per wipe. repeat this 3 times on each eye, the condition should clear up in a few days. Continued eye hygiene is recommended to prevent recurrence.

Drink more water and get more sleep. You could also try putting used tea bags, cucumbers, or a ziploc baggie of cold water on your eyes for a while.

Well, pink eye usually resolves within a week to two weeks.  For immediate results, try NAPCHON A eye drops.  This will get rid of the redness and itching.  But an antibiotic ointment is usually needed to completely cure conjuctivitis.

A hot compression helps in stye.\n\nThis is how you should do it:\nBoil some water in a beaker for about 7 to 10 mins. Then allow it to cool till its 'luke warm'. \nTake some cotton balls(sterelized if possible).\ndip a cotton ball and clean the lid margins. throw away the used cotton ball and take another one. again dip it in warm water and gently put it on the stye. \nkeep applying for about 10-15 mins. \ndont forget to change the cotton frequently to avoid infection.\nDO NOT USE anything that is not sterile or clean (e.g., a gold ring) \nDO NOT apply eye make up till the stye is subsided.\nwear a protective goggle when you are out.\nDO NOT touch the stye as this may transfer the bacteria from your hands to the infected site and the stye may flur up.\n\nBye, and take care\nZubin Jiwani (M.Optom.)\nOptometrist

Other causes of conjunctivitis include thermal and ultraviolet burns, chemicals, toxins, overuse of contact lenses, foreign bodies, vitamin deficiency, dry eye, dryness due to inadequate lid closure, exposure to chickens infected with Newcastle disease, epithelial dysplasia (pre-cancerous changes), and some conditions of unknown cause such as sarcoidosis.\n\nViral conjunctivitis is spread by aerosol or contact of a variety of contagious viruses, including many that cause the common cold, so that it is often associated with upper respiratory tract symptoms. Clusters of cases have been due to transfer from inadequately-sterilised ophthalmic instruments that make contact with the eye (e.g., tonometers).\n\nAllergic conjunctivitis occurs more frequently among those with allergic conditions, with the symptoms having a seasonal correlation. It can also be caused by allergies to substances such as cosmetics, perfume, protein deposits on contact lenses, or drugs. It usually affects both eyes, and is accompanied by swollen eyelids.\n\nBacterial conjunctivitis is most often caused by pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus or Streptococcus from the patient's own skin or respiratory flora. Others are due to infection from the environment (e.g. insect-borne), from other people (usually by touch - especially in children), but occasionally via eye makeup or facial lotions. An example of this is conjunctivitis due to the bacteria Haemophilus influenzae biogroup aegyptius.\n\nIrritant, toxic, thermal and chemical conjunctivitis are associated with exposure to the specific agents, such as flame burns, irritant plant saps, irritant gases (e.g., chlorine or hydrochloric acid ('pool acid') fumes), natural toxins (e.g., ricin picked up by handling castor oil bean necklaces), or splash injury from an enormous variety of industrial chemicals, the most dangerous being strongly alkaline materials.\n\nXerophthalmia is a term that usually implies a destructive dryness of the conjunctival epithelium due to dietary vitamin A deficiency—a condition virtually forgotten in developed countries, but still causing much damage in developing countries. Other forms of dry eye are associated with aging, poor lid closure, scarring from previous injury, or autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, and these can all cause chronic conjunctivitis.\n\n\n[edit] Diagnosis\n\n[edit] Symptoms\n \nEyes with conjunctivitis.Redness, irritation and watering of the eyes are symptoms common to all forms of conjunctivitis.

Try sulphacetamide.  And I swear this works:  Put a few drops of breastmilk in the affected eye.

I am not a doctor but I do read and do self study. I am glad to see that you are looking at natural means to help CURE your condition and not just blindly following the advice of "the chemical" medication doctors. First, let me say that you can cure your conditions all together, even though I know that you have been told otherwise. Buy a book called, "The Cure For All Diseases," by Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Ph.D., N.D. (See the links below.) And, get yourself a Zapper or a Parazapper that Dr. Clark invented, and use it on a regular basis !!! There are only two causes of diseases, Toxins and Parasites, and you can learn what is causing your conditions and kill off the parasites and learn to avoid (and cleanse out of you, also) the toxins. I also, regularly use an herbal product called Swedish Bitters, which has been around for at least 400 years or more. It is simply a combination of different herbs and is very bitter, but very effective as well. It can be used on the eyes (with clean cotton balls) and it helps to kill off parasites that can cause us to get sick as well. (Dr. Clark recommends others in her books, but she acknowledges that there are possibly many different herbs and combinations thereof that can help to remove toxins and parasites from the body.) Godspeed to you in finding out what is causing, and curing, your conditions.

Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation or infection of the transparent membrane (conjunctiva) that lines your eyelid and part of your eyeball. The cause of pink eye is commonly a bacterial or viral infection, an allergic reaction or — in newborns — an incompletely opened tear duct.\n\nPink eye may make you feel as if you've got something in one or both of your eyes that you just can't remove. When you wake up in the morning, your eyes may seem to be pasted shut from the discharge coming from your eyes. The whites of your eyes may begin to have a pink discoloration, and you may not see as clearly as you did before.\n\nInflammation causes small blood vessels in the conjunctiva to become more prominent, resulting in a pink or red cast to the whites of your eyes. Pink eye and red eye are terms commonly used to refer to all types of conjunctivitis.\n\nThough the inflammation of pink eye makes it an irritating condition, it rarely affects your sight. If you suspect pink eye, you can take steps to ease your discomfort. But because pink eye can be contagious, it should be diagnosed and treated early. This is especially important for preschool-age children, who commonly develop both viral and bacterial conjunctivitis

Try Systane Free as needed....your eye doctor may also want to prescribe "Restasis" which might help in tear production.  That one takes about a month to work, so don't judge it right off the bat.\n\nIf you use any artificial tear, make sure they are preservative free.  Visine and Clear Eyes do a great job getting their name out, but they aren't the best for your eyes--their preservatives can actually make your eyes more uncomfortable.\n\nYou might also consider punctal plugs or punctal cautery.  Either of those procedures plug your tear canal--which forces your tears to stick around longer.

Most symptoms would appear within 24 hours. It will settle in while she's asleep at night,because the eyes are closed,and air is not intering the eye. Conjunctivitis (pink eye),is an allergy. It basically comes from exposure to certain flowers,pollen,and cottonwood trees. During the spring,when flowers and trees start to bloom,and you see what looks like cotton in the air, keep her indoors as much as possible. Once it rains,the cottony stuff will disappear. You'll know she has been exposed,when her eyes start to itch a lot,and turn red. When she wakes up in the morning,she will have a sticky white,somewhat crusty substance covering her eyes,to the point where it will be kind of hard for her to open them. There are over-the-counter eyedrops for pink eye. Dab her eyes with cottonballs,dipped in warm water. Do not use washcloths,because you will only spread the allergy. You can do this,until you seek medical treatment. (Good Luck!)

my sister had a similar problem a while back. it turned out to not be pink eye. it was an allergic reaction to the solution and contacts she was using. i would suggest calling your eye doctor and re-evaulating your choice in lenses.
