labrys 0 #3 June 7, 2011 What kind of conjunctivitis? If it's viral conjunctivitis it could be highly contagious and it would be inconsiderate of you to expose other people. Have you consulted a doctor?Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PiLFy 0 #4 June 8, 2011 Two issues: **The Conjuntiva is only a membrane. W/no internal pressure changes to worry about. It shouldn't be an issue, but ask your eye MD. **Pink Eye is highly contagious until using the eye drops for X amount of days (I don't remember how many). Giving Pink Eye to several others on the plane would be considered poor form. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
