Is Pink Eye Disease Contagious?

Hi, I have had pink eye for about 11 days now. I have been to the eye doctor three times and they have put me on three different kinds of drops but nothing is working. Is there any advice you can give me to clear up my eye infection faster? I am going on a school trip to London on Friday and don t want to get anyone else sick because pink eye is very contagious. I also want to be able to wear my contacts again, I ve been wearing glasses since this all happened. Please let me know. Thank you so much

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear Greetings
Sorry about your eyes Regarding your symptoms of pink coloration in both eyes I am suggesting that you have developed a condition called keratoconjuctivitis due to your contact lens
In view of this please do the following test
Blood culture
Eye swab test
Meanwhile please see your ophthalmologist specialist with the result as well as critical clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription as well as topical eye drops
Don't expose your eyes to sunlight and continue with your glasses
I hope this helps
Regards
