You are not going to catch it. She does need to see a vet and get medication.

Gave a thumbs up to Willow's answer.
That'll give temporary relief.
But you do need an antibiotic ointment for the eye if IN FACT it is an eye infection (aka Pink Eye in humans)..

Could it be a foreign object in the eye?
If infected with conjunctivitis, it will spread to other eye.

NO you can't catch from a cat,.. just humans to humans.
