Dr. Hassan Auj, a leading health expert in Lahore, Pakistan, is warning the public about the rapid spread of eye conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye. In this video, Dr. Auj explains what eye conjunctivitis is, how it spreads, and how to protect yourself from getting it. He also discusses the best treatments for eye conjunctivitis.
Eye conjunctivitis is an inflammation of the conjunctiva, the thin, transparent membrane that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the white part of the eye. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Eye conjunctivitis is highly contagious and can be easily spread through contact with infected eyes or tears.
The most common symptoms of eye conjunctivitis include:
Redness in the eye(s)
Itching and burning
Tearing
Discharge from the eye(s)
Sensitivity to light
In some cases, eye conjunctivitis can also cause blurred vision.
Dr. Auj advises the public to take the following precautions to protect themselves from getting eye conjunctivitis:
Wash your hands frequently with soap and water.
Avoid touching your eyes.
If you must touch your eyes, wash your hands first.
Avoid sharing towels and washcloths with others.
Clean and disinfect contact lenses regularly.
If you think you may have eye conjunctivitis, it is important to see a doctor right away. Dr. Auj says that early treatment can help to prevent complications, such as corneal ulcers and vision loss.
In this video, Dr. Auj also discusses the best treatments for eye conjunctivitis. Treatment options vary depending on the cause of the infection. For example, bacterial conjunctivitis may be treated with antibiotic eye drops or ointment. Viral conjunctivitis usually goes away on its own within a week or two. Allergic conjunctivitis may be treated with antihistamine eye drops or ointment.
Dr. Auj concludes the video by urging the public to take eye conjunctivitis seriously. He says that it is a highly contagious infection that can cause serious complications if not treated promptly.
