12 Early Signs of Pink Eye

Gritty Feeling

This is a common sign that indicates the onset of a pink eye case. The feeling is usually that of something being stuck in the eyes, and it often leads to severe itching and significant discomfort. With this feeling of grittiness, people who have conjunctivitis usually experience tears falling from the eyes. The gritty sensation and tearing of the eyes will call for rubbing of the eyes. However, this is not the best thing to do. If this gritty feeling gets too intense, you should see a doctor who will most likely prescribe an eye-drop to reduce the gritty feel.[4]
