Where I work people will probably be happy for me to infect them. Couple of days off work for a red eye and no pain? Sweet gig.

you're lucky it doesn't hurt, when I had it my eye burned like nothing else. I could hardly sleep, I wanted to claw my eye out. I put it up there with an Ear Ache for level of discomfort.

When I had pink eye (or some other type of eye infection), it felt like I had sand in my eyes that I couldn't get out. Using ClearEyes helped, but it was still disgusting going to sleep as I'd wake up with this gooey mucus all over my eyelids and almost gluing them shut.

I've never had it before so not sure just how contagious it really is? It doesn't hurt, and only irritates a little bit so I'm easily able to go to work. But I don't want to infect the entire office if its super-contagious?

How do you know you even have pink eye? Did you see a doctor?

My son had it last week and he saw a doctor.
Are you using his RX eye drops now?

Yes, although he's a baby so I'm not sure if they will do much.

Ouch. For me it just feels like I've got something in my eye. A little annoying but nothing too serious.

You should never go to work with Pink Eye.

Stay away from other people until you are no longer ill. In other words, do not go to work until a doctor has told you it's okay.
 
I had pink eye for two months before it went away. You pretty much have to go to work... just wash your hands often and be extremely careful about not touching your eyes.

None of my coworkers got it from me.
