Well, yes, pink eye can lead to photophobia. Generally speaking, people get eye infection when they are with irritants. At that situation, your eyes will be red and itchy, and then the pink eye may occur. On the other hand, for photophobia, an infection or inflammation that irritates the eyes can cause photophobia. So when your eyes get pink eyes because of infection, it is likely to have photophobia. Anyway, you should try some ways to treat your pink eyes, and then photophobia may disappear.
