  Actually pink eye is not a serious eye problem. Pink eye is called conjunctivitis in another name. It refers to eye inflammation caused by infections or allergic reaction. To cure it, you need to know what caused your pink eye. Conjunctiva is the transparent covering membrane in eyes, to protect eyes from possible damages. Conjunctivitis might be caused by bacterial or viral infection, which is highly contagious. To treat bacterial or viral pink eye, you can have some eye drop medications to treat the infection, like anti-bacterial agents or anti-viral agents. If you have thick secretion in eyes, you should wash your eyes with saline solution or 2%-3% boric acid solution. Warm compress is usually an effective way to treat these two kinds of pink eye. If your pink eye is caused by allergic reaction, then it is not contagious, and it can clear out very soon as long as you get out of touch with the allergen. Wash your eyes immediately to speed up the process.
