the eye does not change in size when a person has conjunctivitis (pink eye). this is just an infection or irritation of a clear coating containing blood vessels that cover the surface of the eye. the area the eye (the periorbital) area can occasionally become swollen and give the appearance of a smaller eye but the eye has not changed in size. pink eye or conjunctivitis should be evaluated by a medical provider and be appropriately treated.
one eye is smaller that the other due to an pink eye infection is there anything i can do or is it permanent?
