Might be irritation and might be pink eye-- but if it is pink eye, she cannot go to school or preK until it is gone. If it is pink eye, it is highly CONTAGIOUS. And it appears she probably wants to scratch them. When I was pregnant, they used erithromycin ointment rather than the drops on my eyes -- it went away, but I looked like I had shiners. Pink eye (the actual thing that is contagious) is caused by a bacterial infection and does need antibiotics in the eye to go away. I kind of think you and your husband must have had some sort of irritation but not actual bacterial conjunctivitis if yours went away with simple contact lens solution (unless it has antibacterial functions as well).
