I had pink eye in college, and have been militant about never getting it again.
1. Wash your hands frequently, and avoid touching or rubbing your eyes.
2. Don't share washcloths, towels or pillowcases with anyone else, and wash these items after each use. (I got it from a towel)
3. Don't share eyedrops or cosmetics such as eyeliner, eye shadow or mascara. Replace them after you're healed, to avoid re-infection.
4. No contact lenses until after you have healed.
--------------
The first two are the best advice for not catching it...
