This stuff is the silver bullet of fixing pink eye. For some reason, I get pink eye about 3-4 times a year. Yeah I work outside in dust. Anyway, I have carried Blephamide with me for at least 10 years and it saves me every time. Only one or two drops a couple times a day for 1 or 2 days and I am fixed. The pain and itching go away within 10 minutes after using Blephamide.
