Long-term complications of pink eye (conjunctivitis) are generally rare, but can occur, especially if it's caused by bacterial or viral infections. Chronic inflammation can lead to persistent discomfort, vision changes, or scarring of the cornea. Allergic conjunctivitis can cause ongoing symptoms if not managed properly, potentially affecting quality of life. However, most cases resolve without significant long-term effects.

No your eye does not have to be pink or red to have pink eye.

Its not a fun thing to have, and don't itch it, that will only make it worse! Go to the doctors and they may give you something to treat the itching until the pink eye goes away.it's been proven you cannot give yourself pink eye.
