Question:

Answer:
The term "pink eye" is a lay term that refers to infection of the conjunctiva, which is a mucous membrane covering the white of the eye and the inner portion of the eyelids. It is usually caused by a virus. The best way to avoid getting it is to avoid contact with people who have an active eye infection.
