Answer 1

If you would just call your doctor and explain the symptoms they might call you a prescription in and give you a note. They might not demand to see you if you explain your predicament. Calling people bafoons isn't going to get you anywhere.

Answer 2

Look up free medical clinics in your area.

If you really have an eye infection, then needing a doctors note is the least of your concerns. You need to be seen by a medical professional so that you do not spread the disease to others or damage your eyes.

Conjunctivitis
Treatment and management
Conjunctivitis sometimes requires medical attention. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause of the problem. For the allergic type, cool compresses and artificial tears sometimes relieve discomfort in mild cases. In more severe cases, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications and antihistamines may be prescribed. Some patients with persistent allergic conjunctivitis may also require topical steroid drops.

Bacterial conjunctivitis is usually treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointments that cover a broad range of bacteria (chloramphenicol or fusidic acid used in UK). However evidence suggests that this does not affect symptom severity and gains only modest reduction in duration from an average of 4.8 days (untreated controls) to 3.3 days for those given immediate antibiotics. Deferring antibiotics yields almost the same duration as those immediately starting treatment with 3.9 days duration, but with half the two-week clinic reattendance rate.[3]

Although there is no cure for viral conjunctivitis, symptomatic relief may be achieved with cool compresses and artificial tears. For the worst cases, topical steroid drops may be prescribed to reduce the discomfort from inflammation. Patients are often advised to avoid touching their eyes or sharing towels and washcloths. Viral conjunctivitis usually resolves within 3 weeks.[1]

Conjunctivitis due to burns, toxic and chemical require careful wash-out with saline, especially beneath the lids, and may require topical steroids. The more acute chemical injuries are medical emergencies, particularly alkali burns, which can lead to severe scarring, intraocular damage or even loss of the eye. Fortunately such injuries are uncommon.

In India, where the ancient medical system of Ayurveda is practiced, there are several remedies for most types of conjunctivitis; for example, goat milk is used in its purified form for certain cases and ointment made out of purified tender coconut water mixed with herbs. These tend to sooth the eyes and promote an environment in which organisms cannot thrive.

Answer 3

It could be pink eye, allergies, viral or bacterial infection. The difference is how red your eyes get and if the crust is white, yellow, or gray. With pink eye, eyes will get more red, hence the name pink eye, and the crusts are white. If its eye allergies you usually don't have redness to the eyes and the crust is grey. A yellow crust means a viral infection. Any loss of vision means a bacterial infection.
Is there a medical school in your area? Maybe you can see a doctor there for a reasonable fee. Ask friends or co-workers if they know a doctor who doesn't charge a lot.
