“What eye drops are good for pink eye?”

This is a great question that should only be answered by an eye doctor. Pink eye can be referred to as a conjunctivitis, and there are several common conjunctivitis problems, but there are actually many. The 3 most common form of pink eye/conjunctivitis are allergic, viral, and bacterial and the treatments are different. If it is bacterial, you will need an antibiotic eye drop prescription prescribed by an eye doctor. This is not an over-the-counter medication.
For a viral conjunctivitis; cold compresses and artificial tears can be used in order to help relieve some of the inflammation and dryness caused by pink eye. You can purchase these over the counter without a prescription. If you wear contact lenses, they should be removed and discarded, preferably under the care and advise of your eye doctor.
For an allergic conjunctivitis, there are some other medications that can help relieve some of the symptoms including olopatadine, afcaftadine, epinastine, and bepotastine besilate. But the best advice, again is to have an eye doctor or your family doctor check your eyes to be sure that ANY medication does not have side effects based on your age, current medications, other vision issues present.
Good luck and best wishes
