just mix a little boric acid (found in drugstores) with some warm water in a cup and then flush your eye with it. it always works right away and soothes it. Also don't worry it doesn't burn.

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

Conjunctivitis (commonly called "pinkeye" in the USA and "Madras Eye" in India) is an inflammation of the conjunctiva (the outermost layer of the eye and the inner surface of the eyelids), often due to infection. It may also be caused by adenoviruses.\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\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.

Hi MakeEver\n\nHere is a testimonial and an idea on how to heal the issue.\n\nGlaucoma Disappears: I have a friend who had had eight major surgeries. She lived in constant pain, very seldom was she able to go places and her physician had told her their was nothing more they could do. \n\nShe went on Dr. Christopher's Three Day Cleanse and Mucusless Diet. She started on herbs to cleanse the colon,the blood Cayenne, Calc tea, Yucca AR, Herbal Eyebright, etc. In a matter of about three weeks, her pain was gone. She was able to start living again. In about 3 or 4 months her arthritis left her. \n\nShe had had glaucoma for 13 years. Her glaucoma medicine was making her ill, so she went to her eye specialist. He tested her and said there is not even a trace of glaucoma left. There is virtually no cure for glaucoma, how did you do it. Her reply was thru herbs and diet. She was told whatever it is, don't stop it. He took her off her glaucoma medication, and a special pair of glasses. She now tells me her eyes have improved so much that she can now watch TV without glasses, which she never before had done. She started on this program less than a year ago. Her dark brown eyes are now turning green. She has a ways yet to go, but she is really living again. She is a composer and this past holiday season, had a Christmas Album published. \n\n\nBest of health to both of you\n\nCheers

Lack of sleep, allergies, too much salt or alcohol and harsh environmental conditions can result in sleepy, irritated eyes. Eye gel packs and cucumber based gels and pads work great, but if you need a quick "de-puff" you may only have to reach as far as the fridge or medicine cabinet: \n\n* Slice of Life Throw on a couple of cool cucumber slices on your eyes and relax for a few. Cucumbers are loaded with nutrients including Vitamin C and will add an instant freshness to your face. \n\n* "Eyes" Tea Soothe with the healing power of Chamomile or Herbal Tea bags. Dip the tea bags in cold water and place on your eyes for about 15-20 minutes. \n\n* Potato Your Peepers Boiled not baked. Let it cool off till it's slightly warm. Slice and place on your eyes. Potatoes contain a high content of starch, which reduces puffiness and redness. \n\n* Witchy Woman Soak a couple of cotton pads in Witch Hazel and place on the eyes for about 15 minutes to reduce inflamed eyelids and help lighten dark circles. \n\n* A Little Preparation Who Knew! Dabbing on a small amount of Preparation H shrinks the baggage under your eyes too. (Hey, beauty pageant queens do it!) Just be careful not to get it in your eyes. \n\nYou can also dive in your make-up bag for a quick cure. Applying a white liner or shadow in the crease of your eyelids will instantly widen the appearance of your eyes. If you want to diminish dark circles apply a concealer that has an orange tint, this will neutralize the blue that makes you look sleepy. \n\nHere's a list of suggested products that will brighten up tired eyes. \n\nHydra-Firming Eye Gel with elastisome®\nLocks in 40% more moisture all day!\nFind out more, click here. \n\nAlpha Hydrox Multi-Performance Therapy Cream With the help of antioxidants and alpha-hydroxy acids diminishes puffiness and dark circles under the eyes.

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!)

there is no treatment.  it is debris in your eye.  no drop or injection, ointment or pill will take them away.  to get them out a doctor can go into the vitreous of your eye and try to snag them out in the mean time you will loose all the vision in your eye.  its kinda like fishing for a piece of hair in a bowl of jello.  realize how small this thing is and how much damage to your vitreous can be done if  any one would attempt to take it out. this is y they tell you it cant be done.  its not worth it.  they wont hurt you

There really aren't any.  It just has to go away.  To cut down on irritation, you should apply a warm washcloth regularly to the eye.

Sorry, as much as we'd all like it, the only way to kick this icky "pink eye" is to use the ointment or drops. ERYTHROMYCIN OPHTH OINT 3.5 GM is the stuff we had to get the last bout at our house.  We asked our Dr. and checked out other sources and found that you gotta have the medicine!!  Good luck!

Most cases of pink eye will resolve on their own within 4 weeks, BUT you will be very contagious during that entire time.  The best way to get rid of it (and minimize spread) is to see your eye doctor.  He/she can prescribe eye drops that will treat the infection and shorten the course of the disease.  If you refuse to see a doctor, make sure that you wash your hands often, use your own towels, and don't touch your eyes.  You can use cool compresses and refrigerated rewetting eyedrops for comfort, but they will do nothing to cure it.

Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)\n \n\nThe conjunctiva is the thin, clear membrane over the white part of the eye; it also lines the eyelids. Inflammation of this membrane is called conjunctivitis. Its common name, pink eye, can refer to all forms of conjunctivitis, or just to its contagious forms.\n\n\nConjunctivitis may be triggered by a virus, bacteria, an allergic reaction (to dust, pollen, smoke, fumes or chemicals) or, in the case of giant papillary conjunctivitis, a foreign body on the eye, typically a contact lens. Bacterial and viral systemic infections also may induce conjunctivitis.
