Hello, Thanks for your query. Do not assume that all red, irritated, or swollen eyes are pink eye (viral conjunctivitis). Your symptoms could also be caused by seasonal allergies, a sty, iritis, chalazion, or blepharitis. These conditions are not contagious. Pink eye, if caused by a virus, is highly contagious. Call your eye doctor if any of the following symptoms develop. If there is yellow or green discharge from your eye or if your eyelids are stuck together in the morning If you have high fever, shaking chills, face pain, or vision loss If you have severe pain in your eye when you look into a bright light If you have blurred vision, have double vision, or see rings of light (halos) around objects If symptoms remain mild but the redness does not improve within two weeks, a consultation with an eye doctor is necessary. I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query. Take care
