All I did was hold the wet tea bag on her eye gently and I squeezed a little tea in her eye. That was all I did and it worked. Cheap, easy, effective, and I got a nice cup of tea out of it!

I drink alot of tea, and green tea. Last year I tried the green tea bags cooled and squeezed in her eyes twice a day worked perfectly to clear up her eye infection. Which was pretty severe, by the way. It took about a week and a half.
This year, I just used any old tea bags, Liptons, or peppermint tea bags, worked just the same. I caught it early this time, so its only taken a couple days and her eyes are completely clear, its amazing.
I told my X boyfriend from Russia, about this remedy, and he said, "O yeah, my Mom used to do that for pink eye all the time for us kids growing up"

My little 2 week old kitten had a really bad eye infection with pus and crust. It was like it was glued shut bless it's heart. I tried to order some ointment but the vet would not ok it so I had to make an appt. I had to try something to give the kitten some relief. I knew about your site so I read the tea trick for eye infections.
I put a large family size tea bag into a small amount- 1/8 cup of warm water- (just enough to get the tea bag covered by the warm water) in a mug and let it steep until it was dark--Two minutes or so. I let it cool but not get cold-- and then put a little ball of bath tissue in it to get it soaked. I dripped this onto the crusted shut eye, three of four streams of this slowly over the infected eye and gently wiped it. The eye did not come open from the tea, but I hoped some would get in there anywway.......there was yellow pus yesterday in it and had stuck closed again. I did this three times a day and by the end of the second day the eye had opened and the eye looked really good. The kitten feels a lot better. The ointment I wanted to order online would not get approved by the vet so I had to do something before the appointment. I couldn't believe how good the eye looked. Since I was going to do the ACV thing on the shoulder and paws today, I did it too, but the eye cleared up right away using an the everyday ordinary tea. Thanks so much for this wonderful collection of experiences using home remedies.
