Could a pink eye spred to your other and head?

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin membrane that lines the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye. It is usually caused by a bacterial or viral infection, and is highly contagious.

While pink eye can spread from one eye to the other, it is unlikely to spread to other parts of the head, such as the brain. However, in rare cases, a severe infection can spread to the deeper tissues of the eye, leading to complications such as orbital cellulitis or endophthalmitis. These complications can be serious and may require hospitalization.

If you have pink eye, it is important to see a doctor to get a proper diagnosis and treatment. To prevent the spread of the infection, you should wash your hands frequently, avoid touching your eyes, and use separate towels and washcloths for each eye.
