    Yes, if you don't treat the pink eyes carefully and properly, you will get the corneal edema easily. You should accept the medical treatment. In addition, you could take care of your habit of using eyes. You should not sit in front of the computer for a long time. You should also not eat the spicy food which will stimulate your eye nerves. If you treat the pink eyes fully, you will not get the corneal edema.
