Pink Eye: Causes, Symptoms and Treatments

Ways To Prevent Pink Eye From Spreading

Pink eye is spread easily through contacting the discharge that contains the virus or bacteria. The virus or bacteria can spread simply by touching the eye and then touching an object. In order to prevent the spreading of the pink eye, it is essential to wash hands before and after touching the eyes or face and after applying medicine to the affected eye. Other preventative tips include not sharing makeup, eye medicine, pillows, towels, or linens, wear safety glasses when handling or working with chemicals, wear eye protection to prevent irritation, and do not use eye makeup until the infection has cleared.
