Yes. Pink eye is like strep throat or tonsillitis or any one of a zillion other regular illnesses. It isn't like mumps, measles or chicken pox in that if you have it once you will never get it again. It is hard to avoid if you are around others who have it, since it is highly contagious. If you do get it, my mother always treated her 6 children by giving us washcloths soaked in warm milk to hold on our eyes several times a day until gone.

It depends on how many eyes you have.

Explanation: If you have no eyes you can not get pink eye 2 times now can you.

If you have two eyes, yes of course you can.
If you have one eye, well then of course you can as well, just develop a case of the itchy pink eye twice.

Hope this helps.

Yes it isn't like Chicken Pox at all. Its just like getting a cold...you can get infected at any time! Best of Luck! :)

You can get it many times. Having it once doesn't give you immunity to it.

Yes. Numerous times.

Pinkeye can be caused by many of the bacteria and viruses responsible for colds and other infections, — including ear infections, sinus infections, and sore throats — and by the same types of bacteria that cause the sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) chlamydia and gonorrhea.
Pinkeye also can be caused by allergies. These cases tend to happen more frequently among kids who also have other allergic conditions, such as hay fever. Some triggers of allergic conjunctivitis include grass, ragweed pollen, animal dander, and dust mites.
