Yes, especially in the early stages of treatment, pink eye will still be very contagious. Drops will help slow the infection, but they will take time to fully cure it. Pink eye can easily be spread to others, so you should make sure you wash your hands, avoid rubbing your eyes, use clean towels, and take all of the medication your doctor prescribes. If you still have symptoms after completing the use of the eye drops, you may have a more resistant form of the illness and you may need another course of medication. On the other hand, pink eye is nearly always treated successfully, and if you follow the directions your doctor gives you, you should not have any problems from it.
