Conjunctivitis usually occurs in spring and summer, as people tend to go outdoors more frequently during these seasons, although it can also occur in autumn and winter. Therefore, to prevent conjunctivitis, it is important to maintain good personal hygiene, wash hands frequently, avoid rubbing the eyes, refrain from sharing towels with others, and avoid crowded places—such as swimming pools—during peak seasons. Overall, prevention of conjunctivitis primarily depends on individual precautions.
