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 irritable and getting a bit of a fever. After reading books, I often go online, which has made my eyes slightly swollen in recent days. When I touch them, they hurt a bit. Could you please tell me what factors might be causing my red eyes?Doctor's answer:
Considering conjunctivitis, it is mostly contagious through contact. It is recommended to wash face with flowing water, and items like handkerchiefs should be kept separate from others and frequently cleaned and disinfected. Certain isolation measures should be taken for patients with contagious 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, the environment should be improved and protective glasses should be worn to prevent conjunctivitis.
