Infectious pink eye (conjunctivitis) is highly contagious and should be treated with prescription eye drops. It can be caused by bacteria or a virus and can travel quickly through a classroom or family. The whites of the eye are extremely red, burning and with puss formation. Good hygiene is extremely important to prevent pink eye. That includes frequent washing of hands and always keeping your hands away from your face.

Many things can cause sore eyes such as eyestrain, Allergies, dust, pollen, getting soap in your eye, improper eyeglass prescription, paint fumes, smoke, etc. Various types of over the counter eyedrops can help with these types of eye irritations. You should also try to eliminate the source of irritation if possible.
