Go to your eye doctor, he will give you perscription for eye drops.
Leave the contacts out and throw out that pair.
You shouldn't wear them for a couple weeks.
It takes that long to get better.
You need to get a new case for the next pair on contacts too.
Pink eye is very contagious, caused by a virus or bacteria you have gotten into your eyes by rubbing or touching them with hands that have the germs on them.
You should also throw out all your eye makeup and get fresh.
Pink eye can cause more problems if you don't get it taken care of.
I've had it.
Hi :)
Pink eye aka "conjunctivitis" can be caused by viruses, bacteria, and irritation. Soory to not be more helpful, but really you should see your eye doctor to determine the cause and potential treatment. Good luck :)
Pink eye is a viral infection of the eye. It is very contagious so you should wash your hands frequently especially after touching your eye. Many doctors prescribe an antibiotic ointment b/c this is required to use for 24hrs before allowed to go back to work, school, daycare, etc, but antibiotics don't work on viruses. It would help if you threw this et of contacts out & used your glasses until infection gone, then put in a new pair. Or clean the pair really well so you won't reinfect yourself. Youcan still wear your contacts but you will heal faster without them.

Contacts could cause it, and so could a cold. Use glasses, and use eye drops.
