Conjunctivitis: The rising cases of eye infections in India raise concerns; experts advise precautions

Cases of conjunctivitis are increasing in India. Here's what health experts advise.&nbsp;

Cases of conjunctivitis and various eye infections are increasing in India. Medical professionals recommend prioritising hygiene and seeking medical advice before resorting to self-medication for these conditions.
Recently, Dr Souradipta Chandra, a consultant physician, Internal Medicine, Helvetia Medical and Diagnostic Centre, suggested the following measures during an interview to news agency ANI.&nbsp;
According to him, it is essential to steer clear of self-medication in case of eye infection. If a person with typhoid begins taking antibiotics that are ineffective against the disease, the body may develop resistance to these drugs.&nbsp;
Chandra also noted that if someone's conjunctivitis stems from a viral origin and they initiate the use of eye drops containing steroids, they unintentionally increase the potential for prolonging the infection's duration.&nbsp;
Experts also suggest that conjunctivitis patients should isolate themselves from others, minimise the use of screens, wash their hands frequently, avoid touching their eyes, and should seek immediate help. &nbsp;

Suffering from conjunctivitis? Know why it is important to wear dark sunglasses

Wearing dark sunglasses during conjunctivitis helps protect from light sensitivity, minimize irritation, contain eye discharge, prevent cross-contamination, and create an optimal healing environment

Conjunctivitis, commonly known as 'pink eye' or eye flu is a contagious eye infection causing redness, itchiness, and swelling. To alleviate symptoms and promote faster healing, wearing dark sunglasses is crucial during this challenging time.
Protection from Light Sensitivity: Conjunctivitis makes the eyes sensitive to light, leading to discomfort in well-lit environments. Dark sunglasses act as a barrier, shielding the eyes from excessive light and reducing discomfort.
Minimizing Irritation and Itchiness: Conjunctivitis can cause intense itching, leading to the urge to rub or touch the eyes. Dark sunglasses discourage touching, preventing further irritation.
Containment of Secretions: Excess eye discharge is common in conjunctivitis. Dark sunglasses help contain secretions, preventing them from reaching the surroundings or infecting others.
Preventing Cross-contamination: Wearing dark sunglasses reduces the risk of transferring bacteria between hands and eyes, facilitating a quicker recovery and preventing the infection from spreading.
