Default Re: Before I go see a doctor..

I had pink eye recently. This is exactly what it was like when it started. Definitely stop wearing your contacts. My whole family got it, but I wore my contacts for the first few days and my case was much worse. I didn't have glasses and had to go get them.

Pink eye can be viral or bacterial. My case was viral, but the opthamologist gave me anti-biotic drops anyway even though he said they wouldn't really do anything and it would just run it's course.

It lasted a few weeks for me, though the only symptom most of the time was that my eyes were red.

Go to the doctor though, or at least don't wait it out on my account. It could be bacterial and the drops could make a big difference or it could be something else. Also, maybe "pink eye" isn't one thing, but anything that infects your eyes, not sure.
