Hello

Especially in children, pink eye is very common. There are a few steps which can be taken to avoid the condition. The first is to make sure that people always wash their hands before touching their eyes and face, and to do the same when handling other peoples faces.Pink eye starts with an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the clear membrane which covers the white of the eye and part of the eyelid. As the conjunctiva becomes more inflamed and irritated, it starts to get infected, causing the veins in the eye to turn red and irritated.
