Patient's question:
Recently, I've been studying for a long time every day, and the workload has been heavy. It seems like I'm a bit rushed and getting a bit irritable. After finishing reading, I often go online. As a result, my eyes have been slightly swollen recently, and they hurt a bit when touched. Is it mostly red, or is it more about being afraid?Doctor's answer:
Considering conjunctivitis, it is often contagious through contact. It is recommended to wash your face with flowing water, and items such as handkerchiefs should be kept separate from others and frequently washed and disinfected. Certain isolation measures should be taken for patients with infectious conjunctivitis, and they are not allowed to swim in public swimming areas. If one eye is affected by conjunctivitis, it is essential to inform the patient to protect the healthy eye from infection. For those working in environments with strong winds, dust, smoke, or other irritants, environmental improvements and protective eyewear should be implemented to prevent conjunctivitis.
