Majority of pink eyes have a viral etiology and usually it can take up to 2 weeks to fully resolve. However you will notice symptoms will start to improve once you start treatment recommended by your Optometrist or Ophthalmologist. Do not stop the treatment earlier than the recommended time frame even if your symptoms improve. Hope that answers your question
Hi, I hope you have seen an eye care professional for this. It is difficult to say as I don’t know what type of conjunctivitis you have or what type of drops you are taking. You should take drops until all signs of the pink eye are clear if you have the correct drops.
Symptomatic treatment. Usually about 2-3 weeks.
There are several types of pink eye and there is no one treatment for all. You need to go to your eye doctor, this should not be treated online.
