Funny. No. You rub your eyes and everything you touch from that moment on is infected. I've had it. Worse couple of weeks of my life, couldn't read, couldn't go into the sun light and it hurt like crazy.
I suspect that it left me with a permanent sensitivity to bright light.
At least that can be treated with opthalmic antibiotics.
It's terrible to see a three year old wake up with eyes so crusty that they cannot open them.
