  Use antiseptic eye drops and see if the itch subsides after 1-2 days. If not or it gets worse, go consult a doctor.......

  You won't get it by staring.
  
  If you rub your eyes and touch the door knob, the next person who touches the door knob and rub his/her eyes might have higher chances of getting infect.

  Once my friend has conjunctivitis and was using the microscope.
  
  Then another friend used the microscope. He got it the next day.

  No, you will not get sore eyes by looking at her eyes, but if you look down at her boobs, you will get it for sure.

  What sort of hogwash is that?
  
  You get sore eyes through this scenario:
  
  1) Sufferer rubs his eyes
  2) Sufferer touches object (doorknob, book, etc) without washing his hands
  3) You touch the same object
  4) You touch your eyes/nose/mouth without washing your hands

  If you caught it, it was not because you looked at her eyes for too long... that is just ridiculous because there is no evidence to show that conjunctivitis germs/virus travels through the air.
