Pancake syrup
DeDee in Tx -
My granddad used this on us as a kid, for pink eye. Back in the late 50s and 60s era, Black people were NOT really allowed to see doctors, due to discrimination and such. So they had to for home remedies for everything. So he used a few drops of SYRUP, like Linda did in Houston. I know this works with out all of the pots and pans and such. LOL !!!!!

Sugar Water
Linda Green in Houston, Texas -
Mix a little sugar in some water until mixed well, then use a cotton ball or eye dropper and put a few drops into eye several times per day. This remedy should work within a few days.

Fish Tetracyclin
Gena in Chicago -Once I got Pink Eye and I thought it would never leave. I was a teacher at the time so you can imagine how difficult it was for me to make this stuff go away. Once I even sat in the emergency room and Pink Eye went to the other eye. So, really fed up, I went to a store with health remedies. A guy who worked there suggested the tea Eye Bright; however, he warned me that it would not clear up immediately. He saw that I was distraught and suggested that I go to a pet store and pick up some fish tetracylin. Yeah, my brows raised like your brows are probably doing! I figured I had nothing to lose. By this time, I had gotten Pink Eye three times consecutively. When I went to the pet store, the guy told me that people buy it all the time for colds and infections. The "cyclin" is a form of penicillin, he told me. I tried it and my pink eye was gone the next day!!!! It works. It really works!

Colloidal Silver
liv72 in Preston, Idaho -Use COLLOIDAL SILVER!!!! I gave up on doctor's visits/Rx with my second child after I tried breast milk which is free, totally natural, and works ten times better anyway, but let's face it, breast milk isn't always available! When I've been without it, COLLOIDAL SILVER works just as well. This has worked for us in just one or two applications, and if you catch it quick, you can nip it in the bud! Place a few drops in each eye and swipe around the entire eye with a soaked cotton ball. You can also use it in the nose to get sinus infections under control (which are often the cause of pink eye) and gargle with a bit when you notice the first sign of a sore throat to keep colds/flu at bay. It doesn't sting and has MANY other uses.

Hot Water
Kayla in Issaquah, WA -Whenever I have pink eye I take a washcloth and run it under very hot water. It doesn't have to be boiling, you can just turn your faucet on and wait for the water to get really hot. Wring out the washcloth then place it over the affected eye. Open the affected eye and let the steam sooth the eye. Doing this causes immediate relief, do this as many times as you need, or untill the pink eye goes away.

Really easy way "for me" to cure pink eye
Veronica A. in USA -Last night I was looking for home remedies and i stumbled across this website and i read everyone advice carefully. What looked like to be the most used in each persons remedies was tea bags placing one on each eye (the tea bags have to be warm). I also stumbled on someone saying using neosporin under and at the corner of your eye(s). Also helping to wash out the gunk in your eye(s) use Visine. By the next day I haven't had any trouble with irritated eyes or gunk for that matter. Hope this helps. This worked for me so good luck!

Salt water
Loving and concerned in Houston, Tx -Please please please do not and I repeat do not try the vicks vapor rub in your eyes!!!!!!!!!Some people are so mean and devilish. This will not only burn like h&^% but also could cause you to have to go to the ER. I am a nursing student at the moment and growing up my mom used lightly salted water drops. Tears are naturally made of salt so try only natural and medical prescriptions given from a Dr. The warm washcloth which should not be used by anyone after use of the "pink eye wearer" is also a great relief for the itchiness. God bless....and hope you get relief.

Distilled water
That Secret Doctor in Anytown, AT 55555 -I got this idea for pink eye from a friend who's mother is really into home remedies. I tried it once last year when I had pink eye, and I have pink eye right now and just finished up with a round...
1. Boil purified/distilled water from a jug or bottle. (Can be found at most grocery stores on the baby food isle - commonly used for baby formula.)
2. While water is still hot dip a washcloth in the water until it is completely wet. Ring out and let cool as little as possibly before the treatment, without burning your eye! (Test it on the inside of your wrist. If it's not too hot on the inside of your wrist, then you're ready to go!)
3. Cup the hot washcloth over your eye, leaving your eye open, but without touching your eye ball. (Leave a gap between the washcloth and your eye.) It is the steam from the washcloth that works the magic!
4. Continue holding the washcloth over your eye until the washcloth is completely cool. Repeat at least 3x a day.
This will clear it up by the next day! Each treatment gives temporary relief and by the next day the pink eye should be gone! It might not be as quick as some of these, but it's great if you don't want soap, shampoo, or lemon in your eyes!
I would just like to note all distilled water is, is boiled water then cooled.

Breast milk really does work
jo smith in ohio -I noticed yesterday that my two-year-old was rubbing his eye a lot, and upon closer inspection I saw the green junk in the corner and as the evening wore on it got worse. He started crying and rubbing his eye and couldn't be consoled. Half an hour after he went to sleep his eye was already stuck shut. I wiped it with a warm washcloth until he could open it and put a few drops of breast milk in it. He didn't even flinch, so it's non-abrasive to the eye. I know that when you get eyedrops over the counter or by prescription they burn a lot, so I was happy to have a remedy that didn't make him cry. When he woke up this morning his eye wasn't stuck shut, there was very little goop in it, and you could hardly tell there was anything wrong with it. I've given him the breast milk treatment twice so far today and wiped his eye with a warm washcloth afterward. He isn't complaining today and his eye is all but clear.

Distilled water and Vix Vapor Rub ( visine)
Jen and Ashley in New Carlisle, Indiana -Boil the bottled water and put your head over the pan and let the steam flow into your eye. Then put Vix Vapor Rub on the upper and lower part of the eye. If the steam is to hot put in a little shot glass or cup and put over eye. Do this for about a half an hour and it should start to clear up right away, if eye gets dry or starts to sting use the Visine and it will help extremely well:)
I had pink eye REALLY BAD and I was using the medicine the doctors gave me and it made it worse, then I tried this and it cleared it up emencely.
