pink eye, or conjunctivitis, has been recognized for centuries, with descriptions of its symptoms found in ancient medical texts. However, the term "pink eye" became more commonly used in the 19th century. The understanding of its causes, including viral and bacterial origins, has evolved significantly over time. While it's difficult to pinpoint an exact date of "discovery," its recognition as a medical condition dates back to ancient civilizations.
