Does anyone know what cultural group is most affected by pink eye? and what’s the brief history of pink eye?

Pink eye, also known as conjunctivitis, involves inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, clear tissue that lines the inside of the eyelid and covers the white part of the eye, or sclera. The inflammation makes blood vessels more visible, giving the eye a pink or reddish appearance. The affected eye(s) may be painful, itchy or have a burning sensation. The eyes can also tear or have a discharge that forms a crust during sleep causing the eyes to be “stuck shut” in the morning.Other signs or symptoms that may accompany pink eye include:

Swelling of the conjunctiva

Feeling like a foreign body is in the eye(s)

Sensitivity to bright light
