  I am glad to provide you with some fundamental information about eye cold. Also called pink eye and conjunctivitis, eye cold is a type of acute viral infection. Symptoms of cold eye include red eye, itchy eye and watery eye. You may suffer eye cold when you are attacked by viruses like adenoviruses, herpes simplex, mumps and measles. All these viruses are very contagious and may cause eye cold very easily. So do not directly contact with people with eye cold and sharing towels and drinking the same glasses are not permitted. I should inform you of the fact that eye cold is not serious usually. You do not need any medical treatment and just wait for the virus to run its course and then you will get rid of eye cold.
