Question

yes it was only one eye.

and my whole eye isnt red, but there is this thin line of red on my eye, but you have to lift it to see it.

does this mean i have pink eye?

i need to know like now please.

Answer 1

It's possible. Pinkeye takes a couple days to develop (in some cases). If you have a lot of yucky stuff on your eye in the morning and any itching at all, the odds are good that it's pinkeye. Wash your hands A LOT and get to a doctor for some antibiotic eyedrops. And be careful - even if it's only in one eye now, it might spread to the other eye. The stuff is SUPER contagious.

Answer 2

No you do not. This same exact thing happened to me a few weeks ago and I went to my doctor. He said it was nothing to worry about and that it happens once and a while.

Answer 3

no, you don't have pink eye

this is normal

Answer 4

Sure it is extremely possible but its hard for us to say yes you do or no you don't we are not all doctors and we can't see it, but by my guess it would be yes you probably do.

Answer 5

It does sound like you might have pink eye.

Pink eye, also called conjunctivitis, can show up when you least expect it, and it is very contagious. There is more than one type of pink eye, and how you treat it depends on the type. If it is bacterial you need antibiotic ointment or drops. There is no particular treatment for viral pink eye. If it is an allergy that is causing your difficulty you may need anti-inflammatory medication or antihistamines. Frequent hand washing is crucial to prevent spreading the virus or bacteria, depending on which type you have.   There is also something called CLARE, or contact lens induced acute red eye. Sleeping in contacts makes the eye more susceptible to inflammation/infection.
