  Pink eyes is one of the most commonly seen problems we might have because most of us don't take our eye health seriously and have bad use of eyes. From what I know, vitamin C is useful, and so do other vitamins. But, they are not medications, and you just need some treatment in the hospital so as to get thoroughly cured.
