Okay, serious health question: just before Thanksgiving, I contracted a double pink eye infection. I went to the clinic, and they prescribed me Tobramycin eye drops, which I was instructed to take 4 times a day (2 drops in each eye per time) until my eyes cleared up. And they did completely in about three days.

Then, just around December 1st, a more mild version of pink eye, or perhaps an irritation from something, returned in my left eye. Using more of the Tobramycin drops, the redness cleared in about 1.5 days.

A little over a week later, my conjunctivitis returned once again in my right eye. By now, all of my eye drops were gone, and when I called in to get the physician’s input, she instructed me to get a refill of the same prescription. It took about 4 days to clear completely.

Again, on December 22, the swelling and redness returned in my right eye again. At this point, I threw out ALL of my makeup. I now had to go in to see the doctor again, and she prescribed me a new drop formula called NEO/POLY/GRA OP SOL, which I was to take 2 drops to eyes 4 times a day for 5-7 days. Though this had cleared up by Christmas, I hadn’t worn any makeup during the 7 day period in which I was taking the drops.

You thought I was done? Ha, not even close. I woke up this morning with (you guessed it!) PINK EYE! This time in the right one again. I don’t understand it. I cleaned and disinfected everything, I’ve been careful not to touch my eyes, I’ve thrown all my makeup out (I haven’t worn any at all for two weeks). WHY DOES IT KEEP COMING BACK???
