Well, in my opinion, you can watch tv even if you have pink eye. But you do need to control the time you watch tv, or it will just increase the risk of getting serious symptoms. Generally speaking, pink eye, is an eye infection which will cause the white of the eye to turn red. When it occurs, itching, watering eyes, swollen lids and a thick discharge can be possible. To get rid of it, you can just try the chamomile tea, and just put cooled, chamomile tea bags on the eyes for 5 to 20 minutes. Also, for pink eyes, you need to wear eye patch to stay away from irritants, virus, and bacteria. Also, just have a good rest for your eyes.
