What Causes Itching And Redness In Eye?

eye a littl itchy and blury last couple of days. Woke up with definite red swollen eye lid. trying to keep hands especially clean after randomly exposed to grand daughter with pink eye on aug 4th...on aug 11th she seemed to me most over her discomfort. Tell me about pink eye. and what is the incubation period. I think that someone else in the family must have had it since than, but don t know. Tell me about pink eye. Being today was a holiday, I elected to wait until tomorrow morning to actually make an appointment to see my DR. Thanks alot. this service was listed as free. I only have social security and very limited amount until my next ss check. So instead of paying you...I ll drive 7 miles tomorrow, pay $10. copay and skip this deceitful attemp to con people of or money. You mother should be very proud of you.
