Pink eye light sensitivity

2017-04-02 23:00:11
I've had pink eye for over a week now and 3 days ago I got a stronger eye drop (Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride Ophthalmic Solution 0.3% as base) which has caused the redness and discharge to go away. However, my eyes are now extremely sensitive to light, especially outside. I can basely keep my eyes open and oftentimes the light causes headaches. How long will this last and is there something that I can do to help it?
