Answers: Nope, your vision may be affected temporarily, but no permanent damage

It can, but only if it doesn't go away on it's down or get treated by medicine.

"At its onset, conjunctivitis is usually painless and does not adversely affect vision. The infection will clear in most cases without requiring medical care. But for some forms of conjunctivitis, treatment will be needed. If treatment is delayed, the infection may worsen and cause corneal inflammation and a loss of vision." - National Eye Institute

"In very rare instances, though, conjunctivitis can cause permanent damage or even blindness, so be sure to see your doctor if you think you have pinkeye." - Kids Health.org
