A lot of eye infections are caused by viruses and can be very contagious . If its a virus non preserved artificial tears that you can buy over the counter will help and cool compresses for comfort. If it's bacterial you will need an antibiotic eyedrop that has to be prescribed by an eye care professional doctor.
most of the times yes
Yes with antibiotics
A complete ophthalmologic exam should be performed to determine the cause of your signs and symptoms.
