 [ Symptoms ] pinkeye i have gotten pinkeye 5 times in the last year and a half before that i can not remember the last time i had it it only occurs in my left eye and no one i know has ever gotten it from me i have been to the doctor for it and they keep telling me its just pinkeye and its probably not bacterial and i will be okay but it keeps coming back and its really bothersome [ Disease ] that is pretty odd to have occurred as many times in one year as it has i had pink eye once in my life and never since it might have to do with washing necessary materials where your eye comes close or in contact with when you have pinkeye i know i caught strep throat at college 3 times in one semester because i forgot to change my toothbrush once and did not wash my sheets the second time so maybe close approximation to objects has been keeping the bacteria in close proximity to certain living spaces you reside often xbox controllers and so on should be wiped down with clorox antibacterial wipes to disinfect any bacteria hope this helps
