Sadly, I am an expert. lol. When I have had conjunctivitus (5 times or so in my lifetime) I have always taken a q-tip (separate q-top for each eye) and gone around the rim of my eyelid with a dab of olive oil (preferabley with a little bit of argan oil mixed in) because it helps with the inflammation very much.. When you do this, you can also bring the qtip to the corner of your eyes where most of the secretions would be coming out normally. Your vision will look blurry but that's normal. It does help a lot!
Another thing I do is make sure to take Cod Liver oil capsules (great for eye health and immune support) supplement + Vitamin D3 (immune support), and if you have it Licopene supplement (or tomato paste orally). Other things that help with this are rinsing your eyes half closed in the shower every day after waking, cold compresses and changing your pillow case (and only sleeping on your back). Continuously wash your hands and be careful not to touch your eyes. Use fresh makeup applicator with each application of makeup (seperate applicators for both eyes as well) if you must wear makeup. Allergy Eyedrops are okay but will burn if you apply them directly after the olive oil...Best to wait a little while before doing so. I have found that eating a little! bit of sage, or drinking sage tea, a little while before bed can help with the redness in your eyes because it helps the body use oxygen correctly.

Is extra virgin olive oil is the best oil?
Extra virgin olive oil is the first oil pressed from the olive. So for that type of olive, it may be called the best. I'm sure you could find some type of olive you don't like, in which case its extra virgin won't be as good to you as regular of some other type.
Which olive oil is for cooking and which is for salad?
Olive oil (the same kind) can be used for both cooking and salad dressings. The best to use - especially for salads - is extra virgin olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil has the highest olive flavor. Regular olive oil is light in flavor, and extra light has very little olive flavor.
What is difference between extra virgin olive oil and olive oil?
Regular olive oil isn't as purified or as good as extra virgin. Extra virgin is sweeter, and does better in recipes than regular olive oil. Extra virgin is from the first pressing of the olives. Regular comes later after the olives are pressed again and a lot of the olive taste is no longer in the oil. Extra virgin oil is a bit stronger, say if you were making thick cookies, it would be a lot better because if you use regular olive oil the cookies would most likely stick to the pan. Answer 2: Olive oil is the Mediterranean's liquid gold and since oil flows from the olives without need of additives or any chemical process, all of the oil's natural qualities, flavor and aroma are preserved. Only extra virgin olive oil and virgin olive oil are direct extractions from the fruit. Refined, or common olive oil and olive pomace oil are chemically treated to neutralize strong flavors.
