If you have allergic conjunctivitis, artificial tears may help dilute irritating allergens that may be present in your tear film. Pink eye treatment: The doctor may prescribe antibiotic eye drops or ointment to clear the bacterial infection. It is much easier to apply ointment to a young child than eye drops. The medication may cause blurred vision for up to 20 minutes, but will eventually clear. If you suspect pink eye, have an eye doctor evaluate the condition to determine if the condition is contagious and to prescribe proper treatment.
