Who's At Risk
Pink eye is very common, especially in infants and children who are constantly touching their eyes. It is very common all over the world and can be spread by sharing objects or toys and then touching one's eye.

If the pink eye is caused by an allergy or chemical, it may be difficult to pinpoint what exactly irritates the infant's eye.
