Eye infections on rise in monsoons, doc advises prevention tips
Eye infections are on rise in monsoons and cases of conjunctivitis are rising in the city, as the moisture in air makes it favourable for bacteria and other germs to grow. Quoting this, ophthalmologist Dr Amit Solanki addressed a webinar organised by Create Stories Social Welfare Society on Friday.
“Eye care is very important during the rainy season .Some of the eye problems that we face during the rainy season are Conjunctivitis, Eye Stye, Dry Eyes, and Corneal Ulcer, etc,” Dr Solanki said.
He added that cases of eye infections rise by 35% to 40% during monsoons. Dr Solanki gave the following tips to keep eyes safe from infections:
• Most eye diseases are transmitted by hand-to-eye contact. So, wash your hands before touching your eyes to reduce or prevent infections.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes as that only increases the chances of spreading the infection. Instead, use disposable tissues to wipe off the overflowing discharge or tears.
• Be careful of dirty water and excessive dampness during the monsoon.
• Do not share personal products, such as handkerchiefs, sunglasses and contact lenses with others.
• Do not rub your eyes very often.
• Don’t share your eye medicines or contact lenses with anyone.
• Avoid eye make-up, when you have eye infection.
• Always try to opt for waterproof makeup kit and never share it with others
• Avoid using the swimming pool during the rainy season. If you still d​​o, use eye protective masks, while swimming.
