Anyone else ever get pink eye from getting salt water in your eye

I'm currently experiencing pink eye for the third time in about two years now. Never had them really before. It seems like every time I have gotten them has been a few days after I had water splash up at me and in my eye. But this last time I may have accidently rubbed my eye after having my hands in my tank. Im always pretty good about making sure to wash my hands when I'm done in my tanks. Just wondered if anyone else had this issue or its just me?

 

The last two times I got it yes, I went to the Dr. I didn't go this time because there was no point as I have the eye drops already. My family Dr told me last time if I got it again I needed to go to my eye Dr. I have just been putting warm wash rags on my eye and drops in. I never had it before but maybe one time when I was younger. But I distinctly remember the last two times water splashing up out of my tank directly into my eye. This time that did not happen. But I do think I may have rubbed my eye not thinking about it.

 

The last two times when going to the Dr I told her about the saltwater splashing up into my eye so she put me on reg antibiotics as well as she agreed it could likely be bacterial as well. But she wasn't sure so told me to avoid work for at least one day as to not spread it.

 

Lol tried that as I do wear prescription glasses. Apparently it didn't stop me from wanting to rub my eye. Lol that's great you would be so willing to take everything off my hands though. I'm sure you and several others anyway. Lol
