Hello
Conjunctivitis is contagious
Exact route of transmission from source of infection to you is difficult to determine
But it is transmitted by physical contact like hand shaking,using soiled clothes etc

Usually the infection gets transmitted by shaking hands and unknowingly touching the eyes,sharing towel,hanky and pillow of infected or carrier individuals.
Please share a close up pic of your eyes with detailed information about pain and redness discharge itching and blurring of vision or consult an ophthalmologist nearby.
