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!

Water and Salt
Sam in Nova Scotia -You fill your sink with warm water and drop about a tbs of salt into it, you wait till the salt disolves and dip a washcloth in and then wipe on your eyes. It kills the infection in about a day or so.

Contact solution and warm cloth
Sean in Makaha, HI -
Wash your hands really good, clean your eyes with warm wash cloth, then add soft contact lens solution drops. I read on another message board and it worked very well for me.

Tannic acid from tea
Allan in Nova Scotia, Canada -You simply brew a cup of tea (regular black tea like red rose or other orange pekoe is what we use), take the bag out afterwards and lay the infected person down while you gently squeeze a little bit of the liquid from the tea bag into the eyes, then lay the bags over the eyes for a duration of about 10 minutes (keep one on each eye).
Rinse and repeat as often as you will (we do it about 7-10 or more times a day) and it is gone within at the most I would say 2.5 days. We have used this on our selves and our kids for years. It works FAR better than anything we've tried purchasing.
We haven't had a case of pink eye here in years, so this is just from my memory; I believe the time is about right.

Coloidal Silver
Anonymous in WI -A few drops of coloidal silver cleared up the irritation within a few hours - too bad I wasted so much time using the antibacterial agent prescribed by the doctor when this worked so much better without side effects.
