Ingredients: Lemon Juice
Instructions: Put a drop or two of lemon juice in the palm of your hand. Dip a clean forefinger in the lemon juice and apply to the outside of the white of the infected eye. It will sting yes for about 5 minutes, but it will force the infected tear duct to clean itself out. I once watched the pus ooze out of the infected duct. Not too pleasant to watch, but very effective. Of course another remedy is to watch your favorite tear jerker. Pink eye is caused by not crying. Have a big cry-fest with some super sad movie. It works! It helps also to investigatewhy you aren\'t crying. Why are you so unfeeling?

Hi
I am from the U.S.A. and I discovered a cure for pink eye. I am one of those folks who keeps aloe for medicinal and health purposes. I have found that if you take some of that wonderful sap that grows inside the "leaves", you can apply with your finger inside the upper and lower lids of your eye. Relief comes quickly, and red or pink eye is gone in a couple days.
Hope this helps someone.

INGREDIENTS: Black Tea
INSTRUCTIONS: MY STORY:
As I speak, I have a small case of pink eye. I found out that I had it two
nights ago, and the next afternoon I was in misery.When we got home that
night, my mom and I got online to look for some natural pink eye cures.
I've tried all different things. I first took lemon juice mixed with colloidal
silver (which stung pretty badly, and didn't seem to work). Then I tried
soft contact lens solution (as I am a contact lens wearer and have plenty...
but that
only seemed to make my eyes redder) After that I tried honey and warm water...
that soothed them very much, but didn't take any redness away. After that
I went to sleep for the night, then woke up with very crusty eyelids. After
cleaning them and screaming "I'M GOING ON A FIELD TRIP TODAY, GOD!
PLEAAAAASE!" in my head, I tried some straight lemon juice - OW! Did
that STING! Take it from me, if youhave sensitive eyes, DO NOT TAKE LEMON
JUICE! IT STINGS VERRRRY BADLY AND DOES NOT WORK!!!WHAT I DID:After a about
thirty minutes of telling myself thatI was a complete idiot, I steeped some
black tea that my mom told me we had and put the warm (make sure they aren't
hot) bags (I made two) over myinfected eyes... ahh, that was very soothing!
It seemed to take away some of the redness, so I tried putting some in my
eyes with an empty, clean, eye dripper. It doesn't sting; I actually couldn't
tell that I had anything in my eyes until I closed them and excess tea dripped
down my face. It just felt as if I had put in some water, and so it felt
ok. After about five minutes I could tell a change! It was not as pink,
and felt not as
gritty. :) I'm telling you, this works reallyreally well! If you've tried
everything but this, TRY IT! Just know that it might
take a day or two till the redness is completely gone away, but this is
the fastest thing that I've found so far! :)Hope I helped!
HOW LONG IT TOOK:
It might take around a day or two till it's completely cured.

INGREDIENTS: Soft Contact Saline Solution
INSTRUCTIONS: Hi there. I have pink eye in one of my eyes as we
speak, I just got the pink eye this morning and it has cleared up very nicely
just by using CONTACT SALINE SOLUTION. I am a contact lenses wearer and
that is how I got the pink eye. Sometime got into my eye and it made my
eye itch really bad and so I did a stupid thing and rubbed my eye very hardly
with my fingers instead of getting the object out of my eye. Whatever dirt
or make up that got into my eye got under the bed of my contact lenses as
I was still rubbing my eye and seemed to have caused the pink eye within
seconds. Before I knew it, my eye was red, pussy and draining with a swollen
bottom eye lid. There is minor pain and itching of course. My first thought
was to go to the ER but I thought about the 3 hour wait just to get a prescription
of pink eye medicine didnt sit well with me so I thought I would find a
way to cure it myself. I picked up my bottle of Saline Solution and read
the side of it. It says its a sterile, buffered isotonic aqueous solution
containing a borate buffer system and sodium chloride preserved with sorbic
acid and edetate disodium. Basicly a disinfectant. Sounds basicly the same
as medication for pink eye so I thought I would give it a try. I have always
stored my contact lenses but I never really directly poured this stuff in
my eye. It doesnt burn just alittle cold. The pain and pus drainage went
right away. The itching has stopped and the redness is clearing up beautifully.
A prescription couldnt have done a better job. I actually think I will be
ok to go to work tomorrow! And this is not a name brand, this happens to
be a grocery store brand name saline solution, ($2.99) and it works great!
Also take some advil for the pain and swelling, that has helped me also.
So if you want to avoid a trip to the ER or doctors office, just make a
quick run to the store and grab a bottle of Saline Solution, its an instant
cure!

Ingredients = Soft contact lens solution
Instructions = This works wonders! My doctor had prescibed expensive antibiotics
that never seemed to work or if they did, it took a week for the inflammation
and itching to go away.When I began to rinse my eye in the contact lens
solution using an eye wash cup (rinse the cup thoroughly with hot water
after each use) within hours the irritation was gone and within two days
the swelling and pain disappeared. It has worked like a charm every time.
As a minister, I'm constantly in contact with congregants. I get Pink Eye
twice a year and my remedy works quickly.
My grandma used to use a boric acid solution for eye problems. She would mix it in a glass and use half of a "Silly Putty" egg to wash her eye with it. I always thought it was just an "old wives tale". Then a couple years ago, I had a viral infection in my eye (pink eye) and went to see my eye doctor about it. I told him what my grandmother used to do and he told me she was on the right track. He said to take aspirin for the pain and infection, apply a hot (not cold) compress to the affected eye, and wash the eye with a boric acid solution eyewash (now available ready made in the drug aisle of the grocery store)several times a day . It worked really well --- No expensive prescription needed!

Ingredients: Soft contact all in one solution.
Instructions: I saw that someone else had put this in there and I wanted
to say that it does really work. I had pink eye and went to the eye doctor
and he gave me some medicine. It was some sort of antibiotic or something.
Well needless to say, the infection didn't go away and infact it spread
to the other eye. I got to looking online and found this remedy so I tried
it. 2 Days later it was gone. I've never had it again. The solution contains
boric acid and that's what kills the bacteria. It doesn't burn and you can
use it as many times during the day as you would like but make sure to use
it morning and night until it's gone.

Ingredients: Soft contact lens solution and warm washcloth
Instructions: My 22 month old son had a bad cold with a lot of mucus that
apparently had somehowmoved into both of his eyes. He had a thick green
pus type fluid, a lot of watery discharge,a lot of inflammation and swelling
of the lids. Within an hour of these eye symptoms occuringI logged onto
this website and the recommendation of soft contact lens solution appealedto
me as I am a contact lens wearer, and this was readily available to me.
I hesitated that night and simply used a warm cloth to wipe the eyes and
put my son to bed. The next morningI awoke to a baby whose eyes were crusted
shut saying, "boo boo", needless to say this brokemy heart. As
I live a long way from town and the nearest doctor, I was desperate to relieve
his pain and decided to try this remedy. My husband and I cleaned the eye
well with a warm cloth again and used the lens solution as you would eye
drops. Immediately after doing the left eye there was a remarkable difference
in his ability to open the eye. We proceeded to the next and again instant
relief. Within an hour, you could hardly tell a problem had evenexisted
and he was up and running around. There was no more discharge
the rest of the day, we did the drops that night before he went to bed and
this is the second day and I am ecstaticto report he is COMPLETELY cured!
I couldnt believe my eyes or his for that matter! So I am here to say THANK
YOU for those of you who posted this remedy, as a mother there is nothing
I can say to repay you for the gift of giving my baby his health back so
he can run and play
and do the things babies should be doing, thank you again for caring enough
to share, and so hopefully spreading the word can help someone else, as
that is the best way I know of to showmy sincere gratitude. Soft contact
lens solution.....who knew?!!

Instructions: I read about using the lens cleaner on this forum and I wanted
to make a couple of comments. One, someone
indicated that the lens cleaner had a Warning to not put directly in eyes.
Number one, I read over my ReNu lenscleaner packaging very carefully and
no where did it say this. It would be silly to have such a warning as the
cleaner goes in your eyes anyway when you clean your lenses and then put
them right into your eyes.I have been using lens cleaner directly in my
eyes for years with no adverse affects.Number two, thanks for tip though
that it would help clear up Pink Eye. I got a head cold that moved into
my eyes and they were very watery with mucus and BRIGHT red. I am out of
town and going to a doctor is notconvenient. So I am using my lens cleaner
repeatedly throughout the day and they are clearing up.I appreciate the
info and wish good luck to anyone stuck with this yucky condition!

Ingredients: 2 tbp Warm Water
1 tbs Honey
Instructions: In a glass, place some warm water and then place in some honey
and mix. Take a few pieces of toliet paper and fold them together so you
have a little 1x3 inch strip. WASH YOUR HANDS. Dip the corner of the toliet
paper into the mixture and then squeeze a few drops into the infected eye(s).
You'll feel a little burning discomfort, nothing
terrible, just close your eyes and relax for 2min. Try to do this a few
times a day (3min). The area around your eyes will get a little sticky,
but try not to rinse the area for atleast 5 min. You will see and feel
better within a day.I advise doing this for at least 2 days to be sure the
infection is gone.
I went to my corner store one
evening, and had a very bad, cold in both my eyes. At first I thought it
may be pinkeye. The man told me to go home, get a tea bag, and boil it.
Let it cool, and soak my eyes with it all evening. I did as he said, and
the very next morning my eyes were clear like nothing had ever been wrong
with the eyes, at all. Works great!!

Ingredients: black tea bags

Instructions: A year ago I tried the tea bags and honey in one episode and
took a few days to clear.Most recent episode, tried useing just tea bags
for 2 days resulting in a slow recovery. Then I revisited this web site
and tried washing eye lids and lashes thoroughly with mild soap and followed
by warm compress for a few minutes. This seemed to stop the burning and
dryness feeling right away. Then used a half teaspoon or so salt and a glass
of warm water to make a solution to flush infected eye with eye lids spread
open. This will sting, but as infection leaves over time burning will decrease.
I followed flushing with a warm salty tea bag compress for a few minutes
to draw infection out. I only needed to repeat process or part of the processes
three times over a span of one evening and the next morning. Pink eye cleared
up very nicely. Great web site!

And lie there (with the wet cotton balls on top of your closed eyes) for

might even feel and see salt running down from your eyes afterwards.That
is good.This is the #1 Best Home Remedy for minor eye infections

Ingredients: Washcloth
OR
Breast MilkInstructions: Now, most eye bacteria is easily killed with heat,
so take a warm wash cloth and hold it over your eye, or some other warm
object over your eye repeatedly throughout the day. If you want to sterilize
your washclothes for repeated uses, you can microwave them for two minutes,
that kills all the bacteria, but be forewarned! DO NOT put it back on your
eye straight from the microwave, it is WAY too hot. So make sure it is cool
enough before you use it again.Another remedy is breast milk. Especially
easy to do to babies, simply spray it on in their eye. Breast milk contains
the antibodies for pinkeye as long as the mom has had it at some point.
It worked great on my husband too!
I AM HAVE WORKED IN THE EYE CARE

Hi & Thanks for your website!
I just have one comment to the eye remedies for pink eye. I went to
the store to get a bottle of soft contact solution to try it and right on
the package (I read 4 different packages) it says, Not To Use Directly
In The Eye. I'm not saying it doesn't work, but when they say to rinse
eye if you get it directly in it gives me caution Not To Do That!
I just thought people might not read the Warnings and Hey, maybe nothing
bad will happen, but people should be aware that you shouldn't put it directly
in the eyes.
I am going to try the tea ones & the Vaseline one, but for the contact
solution I think I will have to skip that one especially since the people
I need to use it on are my 18 month & 6 year sons & I they are Way
Too Precious for me to try something that warns against it.
Thanks for your time & I hope this helps someone out there that may
not be an anal label reader like myself. :0)

Ingredients: Soft Contact Lens Solution
Instructions: I found this remedy on this board when I got Pink Eye and
was looking for a home-made cure.I tried It and it REALLY, REALLY, REALLY,
WORKED!!!! I mean in 2 days, there was SUPER improvement. So, I just wanted
to pass on to others that it does work.
I bought a bottle of SOFT CONTACT LENS CLEANER (it must be soft, NOT hard,
SOFT), and 2 eyewash cups - which can be purchased inexpensively at any
pharmacy. I filled one cup with the soft contact lens solution and held
it over my eye.I kept my eye open so that the solution could really get
onto the eye. I moved my eye aroundin the solution too. I repeated this
step on my other eye using the other eyewash cup. I had pink eye in both
eyes. The solution is cold when it hits the eye, but nothing un-bearable.
Also when using the eyewash cup, resist the urge to tilt your head completely
backwards - it does notwork. Just keep your head at a normal angle - as
though you were
speaking to someone at eyelevel and looking them straight in the eye. Also,
be sure to rinse the eyewash cups thoroughly
with warm-hot water after each use. I used the soft contact lens eye wash
about every 4-6 hours,
sometimes more often even. It really, really works. And, for the early stages
when your eyelids are being stuck together from the mucus, just use a q-tip
and apply some vaseline to the insiderim of your eye and maybe the top and
bottom lashes - your eyes will
not stic together. If you use the vaseline, be sure to wipe it off with
a warm rag or something BEFORE using the softcontact lens solution wash.
I hope this helps someone, because it REALLY helped me FAST! Many thanks
to the original person who submitted this remedy on this board:

Instructions: If you have or are frequently plagued by the ugly disgusting
pink eye... try this:take a q-tip, apply a small amount of vaseline on the
tip. roll it around on the inside of the vaseline container so it is an
even amount on tip.Next take the tip with the vaseline and roll it on the
inside of you eyelids- this will prevent you eyes from crusting together-
which is when pink eyegets its worst. Your eyes might feel a little slimy
but that is no where near as bad as when they are crusted shut. I get pink
eye quite alot (I work in day care-I come home with all sorts of things)and
at night i put just a bit on my eyes JUST IN CASE it decides to strike me.

Ingredients: Any antibacterial soft-contact solution
Instructions: Even if you do not wear contacts, it is a good idea to keep
a bottle of SOFT contact solution on hand. (Hard contact solution
has a thicker consistency than the soft contact solution, which looks just
like water.) If you have pink eye, just use the solution like regular eye
drops. It releives the slight burning, and since it is an anti-bacterial
solution, it cures the infection. It works extreemly fast, and besides being
cold, it is in no way uncomfortable. You can also apply it as many times
a day as you feel necessary, and a small bottle would only cost about $3
at any pharmacy, drugstore, or supermarket.(That is $3 as opposed to a gooey
ointment from your doctor, by perscription.) It works!

I had pink eye when I was a teenager and two of my children had it too. I heard that a warm "orange pekoe" tea bag helped, so I tried it. Something in the tea bag draws the infection out when it is place over the eye. Just warm up the teabag, place it over the closed infected eye with your head tilted back for as long as you can.(The longer and more frequent the better). This works! It's gross to look at the bag because the infection will be drawn to the bag. Change them after this happens and keep it as warm as possible.
