Answer by  LM68 (46)

"Pink eye" is another word for "conjunctivitis". If your cat looks like he or she has pink eye, the best thing to do is to have the cat seen by a vet. They will check to make sure there are no scratches on the eye, and then prescribe an antibiotic ointment or drop to cure the condition.

Keep them out of wind and irritants like pollen. The veterinarian will prescribe antibiotic drops to put into the cat's eyes.
