Problems around red eye

 

 

Conjunctivitis is an infection caused by inflammation of the whites of the eyes. If a patient develops 
conjunctivitis and there is a delay in treatment, it may spread to the other eye.

 

 

 

 

 

1. Symptoms

- Feeling irritated
- Swollen eyelids
 - Lots of tears
- Convulsions
- It can infect the other eye in as little as a week.

 

 

 

 

2. Reason

- Infected through dirty hands containing germs or bacteria through direct contact with eyes
- Can be caused by chemicals in the air, dust, strong friction on the lens.

 

 

 

 

 

3. How to prevent
- We need to make sure that all materials that come in contact with the eyes, such as towels, clothes ... are always clean.
- For those who like to swim, you should use goggles because the chlorine in the water can cause red eyes.

 

 

 

 

 

4. How to treat and reduce the symptoms of conjunctivitis
Cataracts usually go away on their own in a week or two, combined with the use of eye drops or over-the-counter medications.

 

 

In addition, we can treat with two other ways:
Method 1: Take a clean cloth soaked in warm water on the eyes for 5 to 10 minutes. Do this 3 to 4 times a day.
Method 2: Take antibiotics as directed by your doctor before going to bed because the bacteria in the red eye 
spreads more at night.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Consequences
Complications of conjunctivitis not only cause us pain, but also cause ulcers on the cornea, pus in the eyeball 
and atrophy of the optic nerve, and, more severely, disability.
