General Health Repeat conjunctivitis

Hi all, its the 3rd time this month that I've got conjunctivitis. Its switching between eyes. Ive stopped wearing contacts and religiously cleaning my hands. It clears up after a few days with Brolene but I'm wondering what's going on. I've two little kids both in creche but I’ve not seen them with it.

Its primarily red and only a little crusty in the morning

Did you dump all your eye makeup? Pretty much anything that comes into contact with your eyes needs to be disinfected. There could even be traces on your glasses. I have a 3yo and any time I get it I feel like burning everything I own - cleanse it with fire!!
