With eye infections, is only the person's towels etc. contagious or is also anything they come in contact with

Eye infections are usually communicable diseases. Others can get it if the infected person touches the eye and then touches something else. If someone touches that something else and then touches his eye - it can be spread. It is not airborn. You won't get it from standing in a room from the infected person. Just practice more cleanliness now that you're in close proximity to the person.

Anything they come in contact with, so if a toddler has one, you should disinfect all the toys they recently played with. Make sure they wash their hands after touching their eyes (better yet, keep their hands out of their eyes altogether if you can).

If the discharge is coloured, then it's bacterial and is highly contagious. If the discharge is clear, then it's viral and isn't very contagious at all.
