Abstract

Pink eye is often caused by an infection of the protective layer covering the eyeball. While it is often caused by bacteria, using antibiotics does not make the infection go away faster. People should return to work or school when their pink eye is no longer making extra tears or pus. To prevent the spread of pink eye, don't touch your eyes and wash your hands often.
