I woke up yesterday morning, and noticed that one of my eyes were more red than usual, and had slightly more "goop" coming from it. I used Visine yesterday to try and get rid of it, but nothing changed. Do you think it is pink eye? If so, should I see the doctor, or just wait it out? And by the way, if I do go to the doctors ( and it turns out to be pink eye), will I have to miss school tomorow so the medicince kicks in?

If it is painful or itches, it is probably pink eye. It could just be a cold in your eye. Try putting a warm damp cloth over your eye for a few minutes. This should help. If not, go to the doctor. Wouldn't hurt to go anyway. If it is pink eye, he will put you on antibiotics and you will have to be on them for 24 hours before you can go back to school. Better to do that than to pass it on to everyone at school.

Yep sounds like pink eye! It can get a lot worse so yes go to the doctor! He will probably have you miss school at least for tomorrow.
