Patient's question:
Lately, I haven't paid much attention to my appearance. Yesterday, I noticed that my left eyeball had red veins. And now it still feels a bit painful. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
You have conjunctivitis, a common eye disease. Since the conjunctiva is mostly in direct contact with the outside world, it is easily infected by the surrounding environment. However, most cases are viral. Acute viral conjunctivitis can be alternated with corticosteroid eye drops and ribavirin eye drops to alleviate bacterial conjunctivitis. If the condition is severe, antibiotic solutions or ointments should be used, such as chloramphenicol eye drops, as well as oral or injectable antibiotics, such as penicillin.
