Breast milk and a Chamomile tea bag
tillsbee in Castro Valley, CA USA -
I had a case of pink eye a day or so ago and searched for natural cures online. Quite a few people recommended using breastmilk or chamomile. I did both. I took some breastmilk and placed a few drops in my eye and then warmed up a Chamomile tea bag and placed it on my eye for about 15 - 20 minutes. I did this 3 times a day for a day and a half and the pink eye was gone surprisingly fast.

Baby shampoo, saline and lemon....
Erikainarizona in Mesa, AZ USA -I woke up with an awful case of pink eye yesterday. After reading through this I decided to try baby shampoo and saline first, since it sounded less painful than a lot of the other remedies. It seemed to help temporarily and I'm sure if I would have continued use, it would have cleared up in three days, however, it was so painful, I decided to try the lemon. Within twenty minutes and two lemon treatments,my eye's are almost 100% better. I treated my eye's twice today so far with the lemon , and will do it once more b4 bed. All I did was dab my finger in the lemon and apply it to the tear ducts. I'm not going to sugar coat it, it burns!!! It's worth it though, I'm pretty sure I'm in the clear! Good luck!

Neosporin or generic
sassy in az -A few years back I took my son to the dr for pink eye and he told me to buy the clear nesporin not the creme, he said there was something in the creme you didn't want in your eyes, and steer clear from the pain relief kind too. Just the original neosporin. Without touching the infected area to the opening of the tube apply 3 times a day to your eye by going from corner to corner across the eye, blink until vision is clear and if you have a lot of discharge rinse before applying the neosporin with a eye wash or visine. He also suggested you continue using the treatment for a few days after the symptoms are gone. To help ease pain and to remove dried puss warm wet washcloth rest it on your eye until cools

Tea Water
Amelia in Austin, TX USA -Soak a regular Lipton tea bag in hot water. Strain the bag and use your hand to wash the affected eye with the tea water. Try to let the water get into your eye and wash around your eye. Do this about 2-3 times per day, and it should resolve in a couple of days.

Instant Results With Fresh Lime
Andy Tous in Ft. Lauderdale, FL -I learned this cure from my parents, it has been used by my family for many generations and the results are almost instant.
BE AWARE: This remedy really stings has to be done carefully:
1st: Wash your hands thoroughly and several times a day with antibacterial soap and warm water for about 20 seconds. (Make sure you clean everything you touch that are commonly used by other family members with antibacterial wipes like Lysol or Clorox (for example; door knobs, counter top, computer mouse and keyboard, bathroom faucets, toilet, etc..)
2nd: Carefully wash your face and affected area with antibacterial soap and rinse thoroughly. Make sure you don't get soap inside the eyes as it will hurt badly with no productive results.
3rd: Cut a fresh, lime (green lemon) in half, CLOSE the affected EYE and gently use one half of the lime to wash the outside area. You will feel some itching (this is good as it means it's working).
Note: while the affected area is still moist with lime juice, you might want to try opening your eye so you can get a preview of the sting you will experience in the next step and get yourself mentally ready. Once done, discard the used half of the lime.
4th: If you feel like continuing with the remedy, then keep warm water running and gently wash lime juice from the affected area. Gently dry with soft towel. Leave warm water running.
5th: Rub the unused half of the lime (the inside part) with a Q-tip so the cotton gets soaked with lime juice. Then carefully clean the bottom/inside part of your eyelids and tear ducts. TRY NOT TO TOUCH THE EYEBALL. Touching the eyeball is not bad, but it will just sting less.
Pace & brace yourself, close your eyes as I know it will sting, take breaks and calm the sting with warm-water-moist soft towel.
Repeat step 5 using a new Q-tip at least 3 more times within 10 minutes.
IMPORTANT: Always discard the used Q-tip and DO NOT rub the lime with a used Q-tip!
Once you're done with the above, squeeze 2 drops of Visine-A and wait about 10 minutes.
(Optional) To reduce the puffy eyes, I use cotton pads soaked with Witch Hazel over closed eyes for about 10 to 15 minutes.
You'll notice the pain was worth experiencing as the results will be instant.
I normally perform the above 3 times a day. Once in the morning, at noon and before going to sleep, in order to speed up the cure.
I gave this remedy 5 stars (about the same amount of stars I see when the lime gets in contact with the infected area!!!)
Hope this helps you too!
ps. I wrote this article after just performing the above as I currently have "pink eye" and once again, it worked!!!

MRS BROWN in FORT HOOD, TX -Pink eye refers to irritated eye. When your eye gets irritated it turns pink NO? Can be caused by countless things. It should heal on its own as long as you keep it clean.

I would not put it in my eye, it works great just A LITTLE I stress A LITTLE around it, I also took 600 miligrams of Ibuprofen (advil) for the swelling. AFTER ONLY A FEW HOURS I FEEL MIRACULOUSLY BETTER.
