What to do with pink eyes?

CONJUNCTIVITIS, OR PINK EYE, is a common infection. You know you have it when your eye becomes pink and feels itchy and gritty and when you wake up in the morning with crusted eyelids caused by a discharge. (Some people mistake the red eyes of an allergy with conjunctivitis: If you don't have a discharge, you don't have conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis, an inflammation of the conjunctira, the membrane that lines the eye, is contagious, so if you do have the symptoms, avoid sharing washcloths or towels, and wash the ones you're using regularly in hot water.
