How can you avoid spreading Pink Eye?

Pink Eye caused by a virus or bacteria is spread through contact with the eye drainage.

Touching an infected eye leaves drainage on your hand. If you touch your other eye or an object when you have drainage on your hand, you can spread the virus or bacteria.

Tips to help prevent the spread of pink eye

  • Wash your hands before and after you touch your eyes or face or use medicine in your eyes.
  • Do not share eye makeup.
  • Do not share contact lens equipment, containers, or solutions.
  • Do not share eye medicine.
  • Do not share towels, bed linens, pillows, or handkerchiefs. Use clean linens, towels, and washcloths each day.
