How is chronic conjunctivitis treated?

Patient's question:

Friend has been feeling particularly uncomfortable with their eyes recently. They went to the hospital for a thorough examination and found that they have chronic conjunctivitis. They want to ask how chronic conjunctivitis should be treated? Will this condition heal on its own? What precautions should be taken in daily life to prevent chronic conjunctivitis?

Doctor's answer:

Chronic conjunctivitis requires the use of symptomatic eye drops, such as anti-inflammatory eye drops, while oral anti-inflammatory medications can also be taken to complement the treatment. If chronic conjunctivitis is not properly managed with eye care and medication is not used correctly, it can be quite difficult to recover. Therefore, it is recommended to start treatment promptly. In daily life, it is important to rest your eyes and maintain good eye hygiene, which can effectively prevent the disease.
