Pee Pee Diaper
KU in Texas -
Take a Pee Pee Diaper and rub it across the baby's eye. Instant relief. If you don't have a diaper use a wash cloth or similar item. Get it wet with urine and gently rub across eyes. Sounds gross but it works instantly.

Breast Milk
Marissa in Dayton, OH USA -It might seem weird to some, but breast milk works wonders on pink eye (and other types of infection...). All the natural antibodies and other good stuff make it a KILLER for a topical infection. Just put a few drop in your eye (either directly from the source, or have someone who is lactating express a small amount into a medicine dropper and use that...) every couple hours, or so. It works...I promise! :)

Russet potato water
Teresa in Colorado -You won't believe this, but it works over night every time!Cut a russet potato up in chunks(skin on) boil it in a small pan of water, let water cool, use a cotton ball dipped into the starchy water,and rub across the eye making sure you get it into the eye. There you go, works every time, does not burn, irritate, etc.

Silver-biotic
Angie Ramos in Orange County, CA -I went to GNC and bought SILVER-BIOTIC, it was the only silver they had it was about $25. I came home took a teaspoon and also got a q-tip dipped it in the silver and rubbed it in my bottom eyelids. Separate q-tips of course. I took 3 teaspoons the first day & did the q-tip thing each time I took it. I had it really bad in my left eye the day I bought it which was the 2nd day of having pink eye, & my right eye was starting to get it. The following day it was a lot better, the next day after that it was completely gone. So the 4th day it was completely gone. I have had pink eye before a few years ago & it was horrible and took weeks using antibiotics & drops prescribed by the DR, I wish I would have known to use silver. It is AMAZING!! I would recommend it plus its good for other things too.

Tea... Honey... Salt
Annesia in Georgia -Steep two tea bags in a enough water to make one cup of tea. Remove the bags and put them aside to cool. Pour the tea in a shot glass or a small jar, add honey and salt( about a 1/4 tsp). Allow the salt to disolve and the liquid to cool. With a q-tip put 2-3 drops in each eye and sweep onto the base of the eyelashes. Cover eyes with the tea bags and a warm washcloth. Honey is an antibiotic and salt is an astringent. Use the left over solution 4-5 times a day and the eye should feel and look signficantly better by the next day:)

TEA WORKS
Anonymous in Miami, FL, USA -I got pink eye and i didn't know how to get rid of it. I tried many things and so far the thing that works the best is tea. Green Tea or Camomile tea really works. It takes about 3 days for it to be completly gone. All you have to do it make the tea and place the tea bags on your eye. Then every hour put about 2 to 3 drops of the tea on your eye. Make sure the tea is cold or atleast not that hot when you put it on. TRUST ME IT REALLY WORKS! and it gets rid of the pain fast!

Pink eye
Vera in CA -It so true that tea helps.
I got a pink eye from my kids, I didn't know what to do, so I called my mom. I guess we all do that at one point:) She told me to try black tea. Well, I didn't have a black tea, but I did have chamomile tea. So I brew the tea and let it stand for fifteen minutes. Then before I went to sleep, I took some cotton balls and soak them in the tea. I put them on my eye lids right before I went to sleep. I had them on for an hour or two. When I got up the next morning, I didn't have discharge and no pink in my eyes, but they did hurt a little and that was the end of my pink eye.

Tea bags
Chantie in Panama City, Florida -All you need is tea bags from around the house (Orange Pekoe and black tea) and a sterile eye dropper.
I wear contact lenses everyday, so pink eye is more common for me than most. I have tried just about every home remeidy for pink eye that I can find...Honey and water, peroxide, salt and water, baby shampoo, contact lens solution. None of them seem to work for me. I woke up one morning after accidently sleeping in my contacts with pink eye. My eye was really red, discharging, and hurting. I found a remedy using nothing but tea bags. I boiled the tea bags in some water, placed them on a saucer and let them cool for a minute. Then placed the tea bags over my eyes for 15 minutes. It was such a relief that I decided to put a drop in each of my eyes. It does sting, but within 30 minutes my eyes wear not red or hurting anymore.
I did this once every two hours, and left my contacts out for the whole day. The next day it was as if I never had pink eye. This is great considering that it would normally take me 4-5 days to recover from pink eye before.

Aloe Vera Plant Juice
Cathy in New York, NY -If you can find an aloe vera plant, tear off a piece of one of the leaves and wash it, and your hands. Slice open the leaf and put some aloe juice onto your index finger and into the corners of your eyes, then "blink" the juice around your eye. Aloe is anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal. Pure aloe vera from the plant won't sting. If you can't find a plant, some topical aloe juice or cream will probably work, but depending on what else is in the formulation, it might sting. Using the aloe juice just a couple of times and overnight cures pinkeye in one day.
