A member asked:
Does conjunctivitis affect a certain age, race, or gender?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Non-specific: If you have eyes you can get conjunctivitis. The frequency is somewhat higher based on increased hand to face activity and less hygienic practices in infancy and childhood, but the vulnerability remains.
