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.
