Best Answer

Anyone can get pink eye regardless of age. Children are most likely to get it, however, because they come in contact with colds and infections more than the average adult. Prevention of pink eye stems from being cautious about what comes in contact with your eye. Doing things like avoiding rubbing your eyes, washing your hands regularly, and not sharing personal items such as cups or towels can help you avoid the infection.
Wash your hands frequently and don't touch your eyes unless absolutely necessary, and wash your hands thoroughly immediately before doing so. Try to avoid touching things that people with pink eye have touched.
