How Can Redness In The Eyes Be Treated?
Hi! My 16 years old son works with little kids, they went to the pool and the next day his left eye was red. I thought it is pink eye so I took him to the doctor. He prescribed him Ofloxacin Ophthalmic Solution,USP 10 ml. Now his right eye is red also. He is on his medication and I assume he will get better in a few days. I would like to know if he is contagious because he needs to go back to work.
