I started using my eye drops last Thursday, and I thought it would've cleared up by now!! :-( Any tips or help on speeding this up??

Unfortunately there is no way to speed the healing of pink eye. Ive had good luck with tobradex drops. If you still have the pinkeye after 10 days call the dr and maybe he can switch your drops.

You're doing the right thing! It all depends on how serious it was when you initially began using the drops. Keep using them as instructed by your doctor. It should no longer be contagious - that's the case after using drops for 24 hours. I would imaginewithin the next couple of days you'll begin noticing results. Good luck!

Try to go back to the Doctor ,mebay that eye drop isn`t working for you sometimes that happen ...usually it take 3 till 4 days to clear up sometimes it took a day or two longer then that.
wash your hands often disinfect what you can to avoid getting it again soon thereafter.
Hope you feel better!!

Normally it will clear up in a day or two,if you are using a brand from your doctor.I think i would go back to the doctor, something just doesn't sound right! Good Luck!

1st you should see your eye doctor to determine the cause of your pink eye. Usually if you see the ER or your family doctor they put you on something that won't help. Pink eye has several causes including: viral, bacterial, fungi, acanthomeba, inflammation, and others.

WASH YOUR HANDS A LOT! Also wash your bed linens and disinfect any glasses. You might be recontaminating yourself. It could also be viral which means antibiotic eye drops won't work.
