Comment:
My experience has been easy. My only concern is that I wasn't told how long I should use this. After 4 days it looks and feels better.

I have had pinkeye several times, and this ointment, by far, has been the worst treatment option! The thick gel makes the eyes blurry for quite some time, and produces more watering and discomfort than I've ever experienced while using drops. I hate this stuff!

After using this medication for pink eye for the last 24 hours, I have not seen any improvement. If anything my eyes feel more irritated than they did before I started the treatment. I had pink eye once before and was prescribed Bleph which worked really well.
