Generally, no. Bacitracin ointment should not be applied near the eye unless it is Bacitracin ophthalmic ointment. Even that medicine, however, is only useful against bacterial infections, and only some of those. Most cases of "pink eye" are caused by viruses, and are therefore not treatable with Bacitracin.
