Lime or lemon with water-chase it with tea bag
Mary Mc in San Diego, CA USA -
After reading about the alcohol remedy I decided to try this instead. yes it sounds crazy and stings a bit but I used distilled water and lime or lemon juice mixed 2 or 3 parts water to 1 of juice. A drop or two in the eye (stings for about 15-20 seconds but is far better than the burn and irritation of the pink eye). Follow this with a warm tea bag on the eye for 10 or 15 minutes, (treated myself late after noon, before bed and next morning).
I felt great relief within 10 or 15 minutes. A tea bag that afternoon and eye was fine by evening. If the outside corners of you eye is red and feeling raw before you try gently dab some petroleum jelly on raw area or the greater stinging you may feel will be the juice on your skin.

It Just Took Some Tea
Jay in San Jose California -It's seems like the doctor's suff never works. I looked at some stuff on this page and only found that tea of all things worked. At this time I had pink eye for 6 days really really bad. I brewed some jasmin tea very strong. I used a eye lid cup I had and put it up to my eye for about a min and a half. The tea was warm not hot to my eye and right away i felt alot of disscharge from my eye. When I looked in the eye lid cup I found puss. I did it again 5 min's later. I then took a 1 hour nap and when I woke Up my eye was about 70% whiter then it was and the swelling went away. I then again used the tea for the rest of the day sleeping with the tea bag on my eye with a hankey. The next morning my pink eye was 90% gone! I used tear drops for the rest of the day and by noon my eye was back to normal. Hope this helps you all out. It might work or it might not.

hydrogen peroxide
Tricia in WI -I simply took Peroxide on a cotton ball and gently rubbed it on my sons eye lids when they were closed, making sure to get some under the lid or atleast a bit in the corner of the eye. My son said it stung a bit but it helped right away. I did this several times the first day I noticed the green discharge and by the next day they were considerably better with little discharge.

Pink eye-with a side of ACV
YS in Texas -
When I discovered I had pink eye, I made an eyewash of distilled water and Apple Cider Vinegar, it burns a little, but took the pain in the eyes away immediately.

The Only Time I Liked Tea!
Unknown in unknown -Hey everyone! I had pink eye in both eyes and i couldn't get rid of it! I had it really bad! I tried the tea bags on the eyes, collidal silver, and the contact solution. The collidal silver would make my eyes less pink or red but it would come back. so then one time I put the collidal silver in my eyes then put the tea bags on and it was better than it had been. Then i got to thinking that what if I take the tea bags that I brewed and take them out of the water and take the water that was green from the tea bags and put that in my eyes instead of the bags on top of my eyes? So I tried it and the "tea" was warm on my eye and it was soothing and made my eyes instantly feel less itchy, burning, and a few minutes after my eyes were almost back to normal! I was so happy! So for all of you that tried everything on this page and it didn't really work TRY THIS!

Rubbing Alcohol
Cruz in North Carolina -Dip Q-Tip in rubbing alcohol and rub the Q-Tip gently under the eye that is infected while holding eye lid open. (Hold eye open for as long as you can stand the burn) The vapors from the alcohol will kill the bacteria and will clear up the pink eye.
This method is a tad painful but it is the fastest method I have found to cure the Pink-eye. Do it at night before bed and Pink-eye will be gone by morning.

Baby Shampoo
Jennifer D in Niagara Falls, ON -
My mother-in-law recommended washing the eyes out with baby shampoo. I had found that it worked the last few times I used this remedy. The thing with the baby shampoo is that you are washing the bacteria out of your eyes and it doesn't sting!Use very warm water and as soon as you feel the itchiness and pinkness begin.

mommy medicine
Anonymous in Red Lion, PA -If your baby has pink eye and you are lactating squirt breast milk in their eyes. It doesn't sting or burn, and usually has worked within 24 hrs for my boys. I have even used this on my older children , I just put the milk in a jar first so they didn't know what it was! Works wonderfully

Seminal Rub Down
Kris in Pennsylvania, Usa -If you use a bit of seminal fluid directly to the eye, It seems to work. I actually found this remedy by mistake. My girlfriend had pink eye and i accidentally got some seminal fluid in her eye and to my surprise her symptoms relapsed her eye felt much better and also she didnt have as much redness in her eye.

chamomile tea
maddie in Ottawa, Ontario, CA -i had pink eye only a couple of weeks ago, and as a teenager let me tell you, it was a big deal for me because you don't want to be embarassed by going places with your friends looking weird. I first consulted a pharmasist and recieved polisporin for the eyes you apply it to your eye 5 times a day, and within a week the color of the inflammated eye and irritation is gone! i think what really sped up the process was the luke warm chamomie tea bags, which you put on both eyes for around 10 minutes. the only ingredient in the tea bag has to be chamomile. good luck!
