Conjunctivitis "Pink Eye"

Who has it?

Conjunctivitis is a worldwide ailment and affects all ages, races, and both genders. It is commonly self-referred, that is, patients recognize the symptoms and report them to their healthcare provider.

Bacterial conjunctivitis seems to be more prevalent in children and in newborns when the cause may be an incompletely open or blocked tear duct.
