Yes, it is possible to develop pink eye (conjunctivitis) as a result of a cold. Both conditions can be caused by viral infections, and respiratory viruses can lead to inflammation of the conjunctiva in some cases. Additionally, the same pathogens that cause colds may irritate the eyes or spread to them. However, not everyone with a cold will develop pink eye.
