Is pink eye going around Houston, Texas?

How Houston parents can tell

  • Red or pink eye whites
  • Itchy or gritty feeling
  • Watery or yellow discharge
  • Crusty lashes after sleep

Viral pink eye spreads as long as the eye is watering; most schools ask for 24 hours of drops before a return.

Everything on this page comes from Houston parents logging what their kids actually had, stripped of anything identifying. Nothing shows up until at least two families report the same thing, so one sick child never puts a school on the map.
