    Well, of course, lime juice can work for pink eyes. As we know that pink eye is an irritating eye condition that results when a membrane of the eye becomes inflamed or infected. So when you get pink eyes, the white part of the infected eye turns pink, or red, because of an inflammation of the small blood vessels. For the treatment of pink eyes, many people will choose to use lime juice. Lime juice is rich in vitamins and it can relieve the blood vessels. So you can have a try. Also, mixture combines tea bags, honey and a small amount of salt will be useful. And the mixture of distilled water and apple cider vinegar also can relieve symptoms of conjunctivitis.
