 Eye care

 * Maintain Hygiene: Always keep face towels, napkins, tissues, and any washcloths near your eyes and hands clean. Do not share your personal belongings, such as towels, glasses, contact lenses, etc., with anyone.

 * Wear a pair of sunglasses or glasses when you go out - they can prevent foreign objects and sources of infection, such as viruses and bacteria, from coming into contact with your eyes.

 * Take care of your eyes: wash your eyes with cold water every day. Do not rub your eyes vigorously after waking up or removing contact lenses, as this will permanently damage the cornea.

 * Try not to wear contact lenses during the monsoon: they can cause extremely dry eyes and can cause redness and irritation. Keep glasses clean and dry.

 The most common is:

1. Conjunctivitis or eye flu: It is the irritation or inflammation of the whites of our eyes. It is extremely contagious and spreads even with the slightest contact. Although the infection will disappear within a few days, it is still necessary to cover the eyes.

2. Stye: Infection occurs when red, painful bumps form near the edge of the eyelids, which may look like boils or pimples. The stye is filled with pus and sometimes forms on the inside of the eyelids. The stye will start to go away on its own in a few days, but regular use of warm towels will help relieve pain and discomfort. Don't try to boil.

 3. Corneal ulcer: An open ulcer on the cornea that causes pus to drain, severe pain, and blurred vision. This is a serious infection that, if not treated properly, can cause vision loss and permanent blindness.

"It is important to have a complete eye examination every year because it allows your ophthalmologist to observe and evaluate the health of the retinal blood vessels, which is a good predictor of blood vessel health in the body," Nekawadi said.
