    It doesn't work. I've used it for more than five days and my eye is not getting any better. Actually, I think it's getting worst

    I had pink eye in Oct I had to use ointment. Three times a day with a period of 30 minutes each time for my eyes to clear....couldn't do it, I had to work. This way it took 7 days for my eyes to clear. Gentamycin drops..perfect! Three times a day was so easy, and so much more effective. Within 24 hours my eyes were white again, even though I kept the drops going for 5 days.

    This is VERY difficult to use on my child. Is there anything easier to use on a child for this problem?
