I have had quite a bit of success treating many cases of pink eye at home with warm salt water compresses. I boil a little water in a small saucepan, add a good amount of salt to dissolve. Then let the water come back down to a bearable temperature, soak some cotton balls in the water use those on the eyes as a compress... be sure to let some of the salt water get in your eyes. I always try this first, and between myself and my 5 children in the last 10 or so years I've only had to resort to further medical treatment twice. I like to establish a schedule of using the compress treatment for 5 to 10 minutes once every hour during the day when trying to clear up the infection.

for what it is worth, for tired eyes or strain I use a few thin slices of raw potatoes over my eyes for 10 to 15 minutes and feel very refreshed after. this is an old home remedy that is cheap and I can recommend.

Baby shampoo is one of the best things to use for pink eye. The gentle "no more tears" shampoo does not burn the eyes. I am a nurse and years ago had a doctor recommend we wash a patient's eyes 3x a day with warm water and baby shampoo. Worked great!
